My Take
Kagiso Rabada is one of those rare talents who arrived fully formed. Topping both the Test and ODI bowler rankings at just 22 isn't a fluke; it's the mark of a fast bowler who pairs raw pace with real cricketing intelligence. I'm drawn to athletes who shoulder that kind of expectation young and keep delivering, and Rabada has done it across all formats while carrying a fair share of South African hopes. From Johannesburg to the top of the world rankings is a steep climb, and the fact that he made it look almost inevitable is what earns my admiration. I'd back him to keep silencing batting line-ups for years.
