In a high-stakes clash at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, South Africa’s speedster Kagiso Rabada delivered a sensational blow to Australia, dismissing the dangerous Josh Inglis with a fiery delivery. Rabada’s delivery, clocking at 136.4kph, proved to be a masterstroke, leaving Inglis utterly bewildered.
The ball, a perfectly executed in-slanting length delivery, seemed innocuous at first. Inglis, keen to assert his dominance, cautiously pushed at the delivery, expecting to find the line covered. However, Rabada’s deceptive delivery had other plans. With extraordinary skill, the ball straightened off the pitch, eluding Inglis’s bat by a whisker.
The crowd gasped in amazement as the ball beat the outside edge, continuing its trajectory to shatter the stumps. It was a moment of sheer brilliance from Rabada, showcasing his impeccable control and ability to move the ball both ways.
This pivotal wicket plunged Australia into deep trouble in the crucial encounter at Lucknow. Inglis, who had the potential to turn the tide in Australia’s favor, was sent back to the pavilion after contributing just 5 runs, including a boundary.
