New Delhi: South African pace sensation Kagiso Rabada added another feather to his cap on the first day of the first Test match against Bangladesh in Dhaka. Rabada, who roared back to form with three wickets in the first innings, became the fastest to complete 300 Test wickets milestone in terms of balls bowled during the opening Test match of the two-game series.
Bangladesh were devasted by the Proteas bowling attack after their decision to bat first post winning the toss. After Wiaan Mulder made early inroads with the ball claiming some crucial wickets, Rabada joined the party, utilising everything that the pitch offered for the bowler and removed Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das to dent Bangladesh. His third scalp was tailender Nayeem Hasan as the hosts folded for just 106 runs in 40.1 overs.
