Cape Town: When Kagiso Rabada took the field against India on Tuesday, he would finish an important milestone to play 50 test matches, but Pacer said, “he was never done” and hoped to serve the South African team for a long time.
Rabada, 26, already has 226 test wickets in Kitty and pioneered the rates of proteas.
He is also the fastest South African bowler and the fastest fourth in terms of age to reach 200 wickets.
“It’s about to take a goal, it’s about being the best I can and there is no limit to it.
I feel like I’m near,” Rabada was quoted as on the South African Cricket South Africa website.
“It’s just about returning and playing the next game.
You will never just take international cricket.” For me it’s about long life and don’t do it for a short time.
It’s about doing it for a long time and that’s what keeps pushing me, “he added.
Rabada, who didn’t realize it reached the landmark until the end of the previous match, said it was a historical milestone close to his heart.” Pretty special.
I don’t even know how many games I activated and only found after the last test fits that will be my 50th.
“It really passed without paying attention.
But it’s something special for me, I always want to represent my country, so this is definitely a personal milestone and one that I will care about my heart.” It hasn’t become an easy way for Pacer since he made a debut test in India in 2015.
“There are plenty of ups and downs, it is definitely challenging to maintain good performance for a long time.” It’s hard to navigate your way through the lowest position – I think it’s quite difficult – and then also try to pass external pressure that can affect your game and also affect the team’s space.
“It is things you have to make a habit to deal with things that you constantly learn how to handle.” In the end you almost have to remind yourself to keep enjoying it and remembering yourself as this young man who only wants to represent your country and shows the world what you are about the series level.
The right hander counted the 2015 ODI series victory in India and a test series visit to Australia in 2016 as his career spotlight.
“The prominent tour was when we visited India in 2015 and we became South first.
The African tour team to beat India in the ODI series is far from home.” Also when we went to Australia in 2016 when many of our players were rather retired and we really were Must dig away and finally win a 2-1 series away from home.
“Australia is a big challenge from home and the two series are highlights of my career so far.”
