Kagiso Rabada surpasses Allan Donald in Test wickets

Kagiso Rabada has broken multiple records with a five-wicket haul against Australia in the World Test Championship finale at the iconic Lord’s. The South African international started the day with back-to-back wickets of Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green. Towards the end of the first innings, Rabada dismissed Beau Webster, Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc to complete his five-wicket haul, and with that, he cemented his spot in the Lord’s honours board.

Rabada surpasses Allan Donald in elite list

With a five-wicket haul, Rabada now stands fourth on the list of most wickets by a South African international in Test cricket history. He surpassed Allan Doland on the list. After the innings, Rabada spoke on the achievement, stating that the records are good, but his primary job is to keep running and bowl well for the team.

“That's all secondary (climbing the wicket-takers list for SA). The primary is to keep running in and doing the job. Means a lot to get past Allan Donald, what a legend,” Rabada said.
