Kagiso Rabada Becomes Fourth South African to Reach 200 Test Wickets at Home
South African pacer Kagiso Rabada became the fourth Proteas bowler to reach 200 Test wickets on home soil during the second Test against Australia in Gqeberha. Rabada took key wickets in Australia's innings, contributing to their collapse for 99 runs. He joined Dale Steyn, Makhaya Ntini, and Shaun Pollock in this elite group. Rabada's home bowling average stands at around 20, with notable five- and ten-wicket hauls. South Africa enforced a follow-on after a strong batting performance led by Temba Bavuma and Marco Jansen.
