South Africa aims a whitewash against India reveals Kagiso Rabada

After crushing the Indian team by a margin of 135 runs in the second Test match in Centurion, the Proteas are looking to end the series with a clean sweep. With the second win, South Africa registered a 2-0 series win over the No.1 ranked Test team in the highly anticipated contest at home.

Now Faf du Plessis & Co. are planning to deliver another onslaught and tumble Virat Kohli’s men for the third and the final Test match in Johannesburg. The Proteas are strongly backed up by their fast bowling lineup which functioned as their mainstay to success in the first two matches.

Kagiso Rabada, one of the key members of the thunderous pace attack has expressed that his team is looking for a complete sweep. Ever since his Test debut against India in 2015, the 22-year-old has been a match-winner for his team and has challenged the opposition each time he takes the field.

The former number one Test bowler and the joint second highest wicket-taker in this series with nine scalps interacted with the reporters ahead of the last match and revealed that despite a series win, there is no drop in intensity and his team aims to achieve a whitewash against India.

“Obviously we know how to play fast bowling and we’ve got respect for their attack. Every game you go into, you want to win. So obviously we want to get a whitewash against India,” said Rabada.

Bumrah is a very good bowler

He also applauded the Indian fast bowlers for their efforts and felt that they have performed remarkably well in both the matches.

“The fast bowlers are excited to bowl at the Wanderers. We always are as it has pace, bounce and swing. Bumrah is a very good bowler, he’s already opening the bowling now. He’s done very well with the one-day stuff and now he’s doing very well in the Test matches too,” Rabada added.

“Mohammed Shami is very experienced and got some pace. Umesh Yadav, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar who caused a lot of trouble in Cape Town, they’ve got good fast bowlers,” he further stated.

The third test match is scheduled to be played at the pace-friendly Wanderers pitch and the fast bowlers will enjoy themselves playing on this wicket.
