Kagiso Rabada has been one of the most dangerous fast bowlers in the history of the Indian Premier League. Known for his express pace, deadly yorkers, and ability to deliver under pressure, Rabada has consistently produced match-winning spells across different IPL seasons. Whether with the new ball or at the death, the South African pacer has built a reputation for striking at crucial moments and dismantling strong batting lineups.
Rabada has represented Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Gujarat Titans during his IPL career. In 98 matches, he has taken 143 wickets at an impressive average of 22.55, including six four-wicket hauls. His ability to dominate high-pressure contests has made him one of the finest overseas pacers to play in the tournament.
Here are top three performances of Kagiso Rabada in IPL:
One of Rabada’s finest IPL spells came against Royal Challengers Bengaluru during the 20th match of IPL 2019. Playing for Delhi Capitals, Rabada delivered a brilliant performance with the ball to restrict RCB to 149/8. Virat Kohli top-scored with 41, while Moeen Ali added 31 runs. Rabada used his pace and sharp variations brilliantly, finishing with outstanding figures of 4/21. Chris Morris also supported well with 2/28.
Chasing 150, Delhi Capitals reached the target in 18.5 overs. Shreyas Iyer anchored the innings superbly with 67 runs, guiding his side to victory. Rabada’s fiery spell proved decisive as Delhi secured an important win away from home.
Rabada once again tormented Royal Challengers Bengaluru during IPL 2020 with another sensational bowling performance. Delhi Capitals posted a strong total of 196/4 after impressive contributions from Marcus Stoinis (53), Prithvi Shaw (42), and Rishabh Pant (37). For RCB, Mohammed Siraj picked up two wickets
Defending a big total, Rabada led Delhi’s bowling attack brilliantly and completely derailed the RCB batting lineup. Despite a fighting 43 from Virat Kohli, RCB managed only 137/9 in their 20 overs. Rabada finished with figures of 4/24, while Anrich Nortje and Axar Patel chipped in with two wickets each. Delhi Capitals eventually secured a dominant 59-run victory, with Rabada once again proving why he was regarded as one of the best fast bowlers in the tournament.
After moving to Punjab Kings in IPL 2022, Rabada continued his outstanding form with a match-winning spell against Gujarat Titans at the DY Patil Stadium. Batting first, Gujarat Titans struggled against Punjab’s disciplined bowling attack and managed 143/8. Sai Sudharsan fought hard with an unbeaten 65, but Rabada’s aggressive spell ensured Gujarat never gained momentum. The South African pacer finished with excellent figures of 4/33, consistently picking up wickets at key moments.
In reply, Punjab Kings chased down the target comfortably in just 16 overs. Shikhar Dhawan remained unbeaten on 62, while Bhanuka Rajapaksa contributed a quickfire 40 to guide Punjab to victory.
