Kagiso Rabada breaks Allan Donald's record, equals Jasprit Bumrah's with five-wicket haul in WTC final

Kagiso Rabada has broken multiple records with a five-wicket haul against Australia in the World Test Championship finale at the iconic Lord’s. The South Africa international started the day with back-to-back wickets of Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green. Towards the end of the first innings, Rabada dismissed Beau Webster, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc to complete his five-wicket haul and with that, he cemented his spot in the Lord’s honours board.

With a five-wicket haul, Rabada now stands fourth on the list of most wickets by a South Africa international in Test cricket history. He surpassed Allan Doland on the list. After the innings, Rabada spoke on the



achievement, stating that the records are good but his primary job is to keep running and bowl well for the team.

“That's all secondary (climbing the wicket-takers list for SA). The primary is to keep running in and doing the job. Means a lot to get past Allan Donald, what a legend,” Rabada said.

With the five-wicket haul, Rabada now equalled Jasprit Bumrah’s record of most wickets in WTC history. Both the modern-day legends have 156 wickets to their name in the competition. Nathan Lyon tops the charts with 210 wickets, while Pat Cummins, R Ashwin and Mitchell Starc stand second, third and fourth with 200, 195 and 171 scalps to their name, respectively.
