Nothing is more special for a bowler than achieving a milestone in style, and Kagiso Rabada did just that. In the first Test between Bangladesh and South Africa at Dhaka, he took his 300th Test wicket by dismissing Mushfiqur Rahim with a superb delivery and created a wave of celebration.

‌Bangladesh faced a challenging innings as Wiaan Mulder dismissed Shadman Islam in the second over. The trouble deepened when Mulder claimed Mominul Haque's wicket in the fourth over, leaving Bangladesh in dire straits at 17/2. Following Najmul Hossain Shanto's exit, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudul Hasan Joy briefly stabilized the innings, bringing the score to 35/3 after 13 overs. However, Kagiso Rabada made a spectacular return with a well-executed delivery.

On the fifth ball of the 14th over, Rabada bowled a length delivery outside off stump. The ball swung back slightly as Rahim attempted to defend, but his front foot slipped, allowing the ball to sneak between bat and pad. The delivery then crashed into the off stump, prompting an eruption of celebration from Rabada. This marked his 300th Test wicket, making him the sixth South African bowler to achieve this milestone. The excitement was palpable on social media, where fans celebrated Rabada’s remarkable accomplishment.
