KAGISO RABADA (SA)

Kagiso Rabada has blown away his detractors in the five years since his debut. The 24-year-old has been picking wickets at the rate of nauts in international cricket starting with a 6/16, including a hat-trick on his ODI debut. Since then, he has become South Africa’s most potent weapon in all three formats.

Poster-boy" Rabada is overburdened by South Africa, says Graeme Smith

The young speedster has picked up 197 wickets in just 43 Tests, 117 wickets in 75 ODIs and 30 wickets in 24 T20I matches. Rabada has even made a big name for himself in the Indian Premier League, playing for the Delhi Capitals team. Rabada has also shown amazing aggression in the Test circuit as well, unfortunately gaining demerit points as well.

However, he has shown enough skills and pace to be considered a future great and right now, is able to walk into any team in any of the formats just based on his skills in all the three formats.
