[Watch] When 'Birthday Boy' Rabada 'Floored' Andre Russell With IPL's Greatest-Ever Yorker

Andre Russell gets cleaned up by Kagiso Rabada (IPL)

Kagiso Rabada, one of the greatest ever fast bowlers from South Africa, is celebrating his 29th birthday on May 25. The talismanic speedster made his impact in IPL 2024 as well, where he took 11 wickets in as many matches at an economy rate of 8.86.

In all, Rabada has been sensational in the Indian Premier League (IPL), taking 117 wickets in 80 matches at an average of just 21.97. He also won the Purple Cap in 2020, when he scalped 30 wickets in a single season.

However, Rabada's greatest delivery in the history of the IPL came in 2019, when he was playing for Delhi Capitals. More significantly, it was against Andre Russell, one of the most dangerous hard-hitters of all time.

It was a Super Over game between KKR and Delhi, and Rabada had to defend 10 runs off the super over. And he delivered a beauty to a promoted Russell, nailing an inswinging yorker to uproot the middle stump. The Jamaican was helplessly floored, as he was clearly beaten by the sheer pace generated by Rabada.
