Cricket in 2018: Test, ODI & T20I Combined Best XI of the year
Pending all the quality performances from the year 2018, we try and churn out a competitive all-format XI.
9. Kagiso Rabada (South Africa)
Kagiso Rabada, the South African paceman, has evolved to become one of the most dreadful bowlers at the moment. Rabada is a raw talent and his numbers speak volumes about his bowling achievements. The South African speedster has had a decent run in the year 2018. He has proved to be the most successful bowler for the Proteas in these 12 months.
The well-built pacer has played 25 games this year and accounted for 71 wickets at an average of 22.32 and a strike-rate of 36.20. His tally also includes two 5-wicket hauls and a solitary 10-wicket haul in Tests. In addition to that, with 71 wickets, he currently stands as the fourth highest wicket-taker in 2018.
Moreover, he also acquires the first and the fourth position in the recent ICC Test and ODI Rankings respectively. Thus, for his exceptional stats, he happens to be a definite addition to this playing XI.
