Though rabada

World Test Champions South Africa: Ace fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has ranked South Africa’s 30-run win over India in the first Test at Eden Gardens as amongst the team’s top three victories in the longer format. The win coming inside three days is also South Africa’s first win in Tests in India since 2010 and has given them a 1-0 lead in the two-game series.

"Definitely right up there. With the types of wins that we've had this season, it's hard to say because we've had some pretty epic wins. But this one is definitely in top three," said Rabada in a video posted on Proteas Men account on ‘X’ on Monday.

Though Rabada missed out on playing due to a rib injury, he said watching the game from the sidelines was a proper emotional roller coaster. "That was typical Test cricket. I mean, like, just the ebbs and flows of the game. We found ourselves on the back foot and then somehow managed to finish on the front foot.
