\n\nKagiso Rabada created a world record and etched his name in history books after completing 350 Test wickets. The right-arm pacer achieved the milestone during the fifth day's play of the third and final Test of the series against Australia. Rabada was four wickets short of the milestone before the start of the fixture. He scalped one wicket in the first innings and dismissed three Australian batsmen in their second innings. Rabada broke Dale Steyn's record and he is now the quickest bowler to achieve this milestone (in terms of balls taken).
\n\nRabada scalped his 350th Test wicket off the 13808th ball he bowled. Steyn bowled 14719 balls to take 350 wickets. Waqar Younis (14905) sits third in the elite list. Malcolm Marshall (16285) and Mitchell Starc (16908) sit fourth and fifth in the elite list, respectively.
\n\nRabada made his Test debut against India in 2015 and he has been one of the most consistent performers in world cricket since then. He plays all three formats for South Africa and is also a regular in IPL.
\n\nApart from completing 350 Test wickets, Rabada also completed 600 wickets in international cricket.
