South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada is at a crossroads in his career. Earlier this year, the 30-year-old confirmed he tested positive for a recreational drug during the SA20 tournament and is serving a provisional suspension.
The revelation led to his surprise withdrawal from the IPL 2025 in early April.
Despite the off-field setback, Rabada’s on-field record remains formidable.
With 332 wickets in 71 Tests, he has overtaken the legendary Allan Donald and sits fourth on South Africa's all-time Test wicket-takers list.
