In the first Test match between South Africa and Bangladesh, Kagiso Rabada unleashed hell on Mushfiqur Rahim, knocking him and his stumps over at the Sher-E-Bangla National Stadium on Monday. 

With this phenomenal ball, Kagiso Rabada picked up his 300th Test wicket and the perfect phrase to describe this moment would be: an absolute peach of a delivery. Mushfiqur was forced to walk back after scoring just 11 runs and this further hampered the Bangladesh batting line-up.

In the 14th over, Rabada bowled a length delivery outside off. The delivery nipped back in a shade. The right-handed batter, Rahim was hoping to defend this on the front foot however the ball went through the gap between bat and the pad and the stumps were rattled.

With this wicket, he became the 6th South African bowler to get to 300 Test wickets. He also joined the elite list of Dale Steyn, Shaun Pollock, Makhaya Ntini, Allan Donald and Morne Morkel in South Africa's 300-wicket club in Tests. 

Bangladesh Crumble At The Hands Of Proteas 

Bangladesh are having a torrid time at the crease having lost too many wickets right in the first session. Earlier in the game, Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and opted to bat first and thus began the crumble of the Bangla Tigers. They first lost Shadman Islam with the help of Wiaan Mulder. He departed for a four-ball duck.

Followed by which, they lost Mominul Haque and captain Shanto and were down to 21/3. At the time of writing, Rabada has bagged another wicket as he removed Litton Das for just one run with the help of a stunning catch by Tristan Stubbs. Bangladesh need some magic as they are currently reeling at 45/5.
