South African Kagiso Rabada has once again proven to be a thorn in the side of Indian captain Rohit Sharma, as he dismissed Sharma for the 13th time in international cricket during the first Test match against India. Rabada’s successful search for Sharma’s wicket came when he caught Nandre Burger at fine leg trying to hook Rabada’s bouncer.
Rabada now holds the record for dismissing Sharma the most times in international cricket, with New Zealand captain Tim Southee following closely behind with 12 dismissals. Angelo Mathews, Nathan Lyon, and Trent Boult also make the list with 10, 9, and 8 dismissals respectively. Sharma’s batting average against Rabada is just 17.3 in Tests, 26.2 in ODIs, and 26 in T20s, showcasing Rabada’s dominance over the Indian captain.
In the Test match in Centurion, three Indian wickets fell, including Sharma, Yashaswi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill, who were all dismissed by Burger, with wicketkeeper Kyle Vereen taking the catches. India started with four pacers, including Shardul Thakur, Mohammad Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, and Pishth Krishna, with R Ashwin as the sole spinner replacing Ravindra Jadeja. KL Rahul took on the role of wicketkeeper for the first time in the Test team, and the batting lineup included Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer alongside Sharma, Jaiswal, and Gill.
