Kagiso Rabada is the world's best fast bowler at present across formats. He came into notice on his ODI debut against Bangladesh at Mirpur. His figures of 6 for 16, which are the best for a South African in ODI, were an indication of what can be expected from the young pace bowler.

In no time, he has emerged as the Proteas' spearhead in every format especially after Dale Steyn was limited due to injury.

In recent times, Rabada has been an indispensable part of the South African lineup. He's the captain's go-to man in search of wickets or to curb the flow of runs. With 23 wickets in 14 games this year, the 23-year old continues to prove his consistency with every game. The right-arm pacer is a crucial aspect to his team's scheme of things in the upcoming World Cup as he is someone who can rattle the oppositions on his will in his bursts of a spell or two.
