South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada made history as he surpassed Pakistan’s legendary pacer Waqar Younis to become the fastest bowler to reach 300 Test wickets by deliveries bowled.
Rabada achieved the milestone with just 11,817 deliveries, beating Waqar’s record of 12,602.
The milestone came as Rabada dismissed Bangladesh’s wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim, who scored 11 runs, on the opening day of the Test series.
In terms of Test taken, Rabada became the third-fastest South African to take 300 wickets.
For South Africa, Steyn is on top (61 Tests) followed by Donald (63 Tests). The top spot belongs to India’s Ravichandran Ashwin who completed 300 Test wickets in his 54th Test. For fast bowlers, the record belongs to former Australia pacer Dennis Lillee.
Bangladesh faced a tough time with the bat, collapsing to just 106 runs, with only Mahmudul Hasan Joy providing some resistance with a top score of 30.
