South African pacer Kagiso Rabada has said that the Proteas' pace bowling attack remains the best in the business in spite of the emergence of the Indian pace trio in Tests over the last 12 months. He also praised the Indian bowling attack before insisting that his team has the best attack and can knock over any batting lineup in the world.

During a press conference ahead of the Cape Town Test against Pakistan, a reporter asked him, "There's a photo on social media with Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma as the best (bowling) attack in the world. How do you feel about that and especially the guys who you have played alongside with?"

Rabada responded by asserting, "People will have their opinion. Obviously, when we play, we will believe that we are the best (bowling) attack. They are, if not the best, a good attack. Everyone experienced it when they came to South Africa. But when we play against them, we will believe that we are the best (attack) - we have to."
