Kagiso Rabada Bag 50 Test wicket against Australia WTC final with twin strike in 2025
Kagiso Rabada is the 10th South African bowler to bag 50 Test wickets against Australia, but is also the fastest to do so.
Australians were not happy with South Africa and ICC when Kagiso Rabada was suspended to consume drugs. Due to no clarity on the type of drug rabada, many people called the lack of transparency around the ban, especially when it was for just one month. In the obstacle, Australia would have been happy with a long time so that he would remember the WTC final 2025. They were right to fear.
Rabada surprised Australia with twin scalps below the Lord’s Ann Marg for their 50th Test wicket against the same opponents. Protein fast bowler reached landmark in just 11 matches or 19 innings, making Australia his favorite rival.
Kagiso Rabada’s fierce mantra
Rabada started with three youths, as his outwingers were difficult to deal with Maarnas Labschen and in particular, Usman Khwaja. After Rabada scored his first run against Maarnas Labschagan, Khwaja once again fell on a protein star for a 20-guide duck after sitting in the second slip.
This was the sixth time when Khwaja was rejected by Rabada in tests, making him a bunny. Overall, Khwaj fell into the forms nine times after being a victim of Rabda’s vivid bowling. After two balls, Cameron Green followed the suit, again shied to slip.

“This is definitely an inspiration. I think it’s a few weeks now that everything has come out. They have held a conversation with the team. They have put themselves on the spot for further inquiries with any player. As far as we know, it is behind us. We are really behind what we need to do here, with attention to this, that too is definitely inspired to pay attention to it. Temba Bavuma said at the press conference before the WTC final 2025.
