The match, held at Johannesburg’s Wanderers Stadium saw Rabada’s exceptional skill on full display as he outfoxed the England star with a perfectly executed leg-cutter.
A moment of magic from Kagiso Rabada
It all happened in the 12th over of the Joburg Super Kings’ innings. Rabada bowled a brilliant leg-cutter that landed perfectly and nipped away sharply, leaving Bairstow in all sorts of trouble. The batter was squared up as the ball deviated just enough to beat his defenses and crash into the stumps.
Rabada’s delivery was a masterpiece – fast, deceptive, and unplayable. Bairstow, who was on 14 off 14 balls with one four and a six, was left undone by the sheer quality of the delivery.
Following th♏e dismissal, Rabada celebrated with his trademark intensity, pumping his fists in the air as he acknowledged the cheers from the crowd.
