Kagiso Rabada creates history

May 30 (CRICKETNMORE) - South African young fast bowler Kagiso Rabada becomes the number one bowler in ODI in latest ICC bowlers rankings. Rabada, just five days past his 22nd birthday creates history by becoming the youngest number-one bowler since Pakistan’s Saqlain Mushtaq in 1998.

Top-ranked South Africa lost its three-match series to England 2-1 but former ICC U19 World Cup star Rabada’s haul of four for 39 in the final match at Lord’s on Monday helped him finish the series with seven wickets.

Rabada has displaced his compatriot Imran Tahir whom he leads by two points.
