In the ongoing 2nd Test between South Africa and Pakistan at the Rawalpindi Stadium, the Proteas finally got ahead of the hosts for the first time in this Test series, courtesy of Kagiso Rabada. 

Notably, on day 3 of the 2nd Test, South Africa were reduced to 235/8 and then walked off, with Kagiso Rabada to bat. The South Africa star wreaked havoc as he scored a 36-ball fifty and slammed the highest score by a batter in WTC history, batting at No. 11.

Rabada beats up Shaheen Afridi with his power-hitting

Rabada played a 71-run knock, which featured four fours and four maximums. Talking about the big hits, Kagiso hogged the net after he whacked Pakistan's newly appointed ODI captain, Shaheen Afridi, for a huge maximum.

On the 4th ball of the 107th over, Shaheen pitched a fuller delivery, which Rabada slammed a six straight over the bowler's head and held his pose after a magnificent hit. Notably, Shaheen himself was stunned by the quality of the shot, and his facial expressions quickly went viral on social media. Also, Shaheen approached Kagiso and praised the South Africa seamer for his shot.

Rabada scripts history with his batting display

It was not the end of Rabada's batting prowess as the southpaw followed his six with a classical four on the on-side, which left the entire Pakistan side thinking. Shaheen was confused as to which length to bowl to Rabada, while, Rizwan engaged in a deep conversation with Salman Ali Agha.

The internet also praised Kagiso Rabada for his batting prowess, while they also slammed Afridi for letting Pakistan's lead slip away. Notably, at the time of writing this article, Pakistan are batting again and have put 67/4 on the board with Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan batting at the crease.
