IPL 2020: Best overseas XI of the tournament

10. Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada’s ability to bowl aggressively is one of the most valuable assets for any team. In the shorter format of the game, where batsman’s thick willow and smaller grounds make the format biased towards the batsmen, Rabada has been the standout bowler for his team. Although lately, he has been a bit expensive, his deadly yorkers can trouble any batsman in this format.

The Capitals have taken their time to create a strong team, and Rabada is one of their main players who can decimate any batting line up on his day. This year, Rabada is on the list of purple cap contenders and is one of the most valuable players this season. A strike rate of 14.08 clearly shows his dominance during the group stages of the league and he is Iyer’s go-to man wherever the game is out of reach for the Capitals.

Last year too, Rabada was very economical with an economy rate of 7.82 during the whole season. Apart from bowling, he can hit the ball out of the park, which makes him more of a bowling all-rounder. Rabada’s ability to bowl and bat makes him one of the best tailenders in the game.

So, if a captain is looking for someone who can bowl the super over, Rabada is his man! During their game against KXIP, Rabada managed to take the two wickets and ensure that the batsmen had to chase a small target in the super over. Being a skilful bowler, KG is in this list of best overseas XI of IPL 2020.
