Mushfiqur dismissed milestone touch Rabadar

Rabada also probably knew the calculation before the start of the Test series against Bangladesh. And if you get just 1 wicket, you will write your name on the new milestone. This Protea pacer added his name to the club of three hundred wickets in Tests by dismissing Mushfiqur Rahim in the Mirpur Test.

Rabada blew Mushfiqur Rahim’s stumps in the first session of the first day of the match at the Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla Stadium on Monday (October 21). He also became the sixth South African bowler to take 300 Test wickets as well as a world record.

The previous record for the fastest three-hundred wickets in Tests was held by Pakistani pacer Waqar Younis. Rabada has surpassed this pacer of the golden era of Pakistan. Rabada took 11817 balls to take 300 wickets, while Younis took 12602 balls.

All bowlers who have taken at least 300 wickets for South Africa in Tests are pacers. Allan Donald became the first Protea bowler to reach this milestone. Second is Sean Pollock. Pollock, however, was lucky. He was the commentator on the field. Sitting in the commentary box, he saw the success of the successor.

Makhaya Ntini, Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel are the next 3 players to take 300 Test wickets for South Africa. Rabada is still young. If injury free, he will surpass his predecessors in many more achievements.
