In the process, he became the youngest South African to take a ten-wicket haul in a Test, and the figures were his team’s second best ever, after Makhaya Ntini’s 13/132.
During the first Test at Lord’s in South Africa’s 2017 tour of England, Rabada was suspended for the second Test at Trent Bridge following an altercation with Ben Stokes after using “inappropriate language” after dismissing Stokes on the first day.
