Watch: Ahead of the T20 World Cup Final, Kagiso Rabada Sends A Warning To India, A Video Of Wicket Goes Viral
The South African cricket team sent a warning to their opponents in the finals of the 2024 T20 World Cup, as they bowled out Afghanistan for a total of just 56 before chasing it down in under 10 overs. They reached their first-ever T20 World Cup Final and will face either India or England on June 29. But throughout their dominant performance in bowling, one moment stood out, showing the sheer might of the South African bowling unit. The delivery—bowled by Kagiso Rabada—went viral on social media.
Watch the ithere.
With Afghanistan off to a shaky start at 20-3, Kagiso Rabada bowled a peach of a delivery to take the wicket of veteran batter Mohammad Nabi for a duck. The in-swinging delivery sent Nabi's off-stump cartwheeling. Afghanistan were down to 20-4 inside four overs. The ball beat Nabi between his bat and pad and dismantled the stumps.
Rabada bowled a maiden over, including the two wickets of Nabi and opener Ibrahim Zadran. Rabada's delivery went viral on X, with fans raving.
"Look at the run-up, the action, and the delivery. The perfect fast bowler," tweeted one user. Another fan on social media called for Rabada to receive more appreciation. One more fan brought up the mouth-watering prospect of India’s Virat Kohli facing Rabada in the 2024 T20 World Cup Final.
