Kagiso Rabada, the South African pacer, wreaked havoc on the Bangladesh batters with his impressive bowling performance in the first Test match between Bangladesh and South Africa. While he finished with figures of 3 for 26 runs in the first innings, he had Tristan Stubbs to thank for the wicket of Litton Das as Stubbs pulled off a remarkable catch to dismiss the batter.
The right-arm speedster got the ball to land on the hard length from where it seamed away to produce an edge that climbed onto the batter. All that Litton could manage on that was a thickish outsde edge. While the ball was far from the gully fielder, Stubbs produced a flying catch to get to the ball to his left. As soon as he completed the catch, the entire South African team erupted in celebration with Stubbs too visibly excited after holding on to a spectacular catch.
Rabada became the fastest bowler (In terms of balls taken) to 300 Test wickets in the first innings of the BAN vs SA 1st Test.
