The Proteas pacer made his ODI debut in July 2015 against Bangladesh, when he was just 20.

It was a memorable debut for Rabada, who finished with the figures of 6/16 that included a sensational hat-trick. Since then, he has been an unstoppable force in world cricket with his pace and raw talent.

Rabada finished 2017 with 27 wickets in 18 matches for South Africa and was their joint best bowler last year along with the leg spinner, Imran Tahir.

He has been equally vulnerable in the Test matches too, with some astonishing spells against India and Australia recently. The injury he sustained while playing against Australia ruled him out for three months, thereby he missed the 2018 IPL.

Watch out for the fiery right arm fast bowler once he is back to the International circuit from the injury.

Especially with the injury-prone Dale Steyn out of reckoning in the ODI squad and Morne Morkel announcing his retirement in March 2018, the Proteas pace department while be heavily banking upon the number seven ranked ICC ODI bowler in the 2019 World Cup in England next year.

ODI stats: Matches-48, Wickets-75, Economy-5.11, Best figures-6/16
