He achieved this remarkable milestone during the first Test against Bangladesh, capturing his 300th wicket with his first dismissal of the match.
Rabada needed just 11,817 deliveries to reach this impressive figure, surpassing the previous record held by former Pakistan fast bowler Waqar Younis, who achieved the feat in 12,602 balls.

His aggressive bowling style and relentless work ethic have earned him accolades and a prominent place among the world’s best fast bowlers.
Reaching 300 Test wickets is a significant achievement for any cricketer, and Rabada’s record-breaking pace further cements his legacy in the sport. As he continues his career, fans and cricket analysts alike will be keen to see how many more milestones he can achieve and whether he can continue to climb the ranks among the all-time greats in Test cricket.
