South Africa's pace sensation, Kagiso Rabada, has dethroned Jasprit Bumrah to become the No.1 Test bowler per ICC Men's Test Player Rankings. Overtaking the India pacer, Rabada now sits comfortably in the top spot after wreaking havoc against Bangladesh.
It is a bright time for Rabada to shine for his nation, especially during the ICC World Test Championship. The Proteas' right arm recently took his 300th Test wicket against Najmul Hossain Shanto Bangladesh in the first Test at the Sher-E Bangla Cricket Stadium.
