South Africa spearhead Kagiso Rabada has made the most of the latest viral Dolly Parton Challenge to take a sly dig at the International Cricket Council (ICC) on the micro-blogging platform Twitter.

At just 24 years of age, Rabada is one of the most successful fast bowlers in world cricket at the moment having already picked up 197 wickets in 43 Tests and 117 scalps in 75 ODIs.

The fast-bowler was recently handed a demerit point and fined a hefty amount for his ungentlemanly celebration of Joe Root’s wicket during the third Test of the recently concluded four-match Test against England at home.

Having accumulated four demerit points in a span of two years, Rabada was suspended for the final Test, which the Proteas were humiliated yet to lose the Test series to England by a 3-1 margin.

While the cricketing world was divided on Rabada’s ban by the ICC, the right-arm pacer was not also pleased with the punishment and he has now made the use of the viral Dolly Parton Challenge to take a dig at the ICC over the ban for just excessively celebrating Root's wicket.

Well, the Dolly Parton Challenge has been trending on the internet with everyone depicting four different versions of themselves, and the young pacer also joined the bandwagon, sharing the four different versions of himself across different platforms.

Interestingly, there was one thing common in the four frames and that was his infamous celebration at the fall of Root’s wicket – which hints at his response to ICC’s judgment of a one-match ban.
