List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Kagiso Rabada

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "fifer"[1]) refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement,[2] and as of September 2014 only 42 bowlers have taken 15 or more five-wicket hauls at the international level.[3]

Rabada has taken nine five-wicket hauls in Tests and one fifer in ODI matches

Kagiso Rabada, is a South African cricketer. A right-arm fast bowler and a left-handed batsman, Rabada made his Test debut at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali, South Africa against India on 5 November 2015. His One Day International debut came in the same year before Test status, on 10 July 2015, against Bangladesh at Kingsmead Cricket Ground, Durban. Rabada is considered as a genuine match winner for South Africa particularly good at swinging conditions and brisk pace.[4] He is generally the strike bowler for South Africa in many occasions after injuries to Dale Steyn.

As of March 2018, Rabada has 9 five-wicket hauls in Test matches with 4 Ten-wicket hauls and single five-wicket haul ODIs, which came in his ODI debut. Rabada's best bowling figures are 7/112 against England in 2016.[5]
