T20 World Cup 2021: Team-wise one underperformer whose form might be a concern
It becomes rather unfortunate when a player isn't in the best of form during or before a World Cup.
5) South Africa- Kagiso Rabada
Seeing his name over here might be shocking. Despite being one of the best bowlers of this era, Rabada has just been a pale shadow of himself in the recent past. The pacer has leaked runs more often than not.
In the recently concluded series against Sri Lanka, the Proteas pacer gave 72 runs in just 8 overs in the 3 T20Is combined. His bowling average was 36.50. He was far from impressive as even when his team bundled the opposition out for 103 in the second T20I, he leaked 29 runs in just the 2 overs.
Even before that series, he was consistently inconsistent and despite picking a few wickets, always went for plenty. As Rabada happens to be their lead pacer, the Proteas would hope that he gets his lost mojo back. The second phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 is a perfect platform for him to get back his confidence.
