Rabada Battles Bravely Amidst Cummins’ Historic Onslaught at Lord’s
What a gripping day of Test cricket it has been at Lord's, with drama, dominance, and some serious milestones. Watching Kagiso Rabada stride out to the middle in the World Test Championship final today, you could feel that intensity in the air. South Africa were already in trouble, reeling from a brutal spell by Pat Cummins, and Rabada walked in with the kind of defiance that defines great fast bowlers—even when they’ve got the bat in hand.
Rabada faced an absolute barrage. Cummins, clearly in beast mode, was steaming in with fire in his eyes. You could see he wanted that milestone wicket. And sure enough, it came—his 300th in Test cricket. He ended up with an incredible 6-28, dismantling the Proteas' middle and lower order with precision, patience, and a touch of that Cummins magic. But amidst all that, Rabada showed immense courage. Taking blows, absorbing pressure, and even pulling off a few defiant strokes, he embodied what it means to fight when the odds are stacked sky-high against you.

The South African innings crumbled to 138 all out. They lost their last five wickets for just 12 runs—utter carnage. Rabada, ever the competitor, took on short balls from Cummins that cannoned into his helmet and neck. The medics were out for a concussion check, but he was determined to stay on. He’s never been one to back down from a battle, and today was no different.
One of the moments that really stood out was when Rabada tried to go after Cummins, only for Beau Webster to take a stunning diving catch on the on-side boundary. That moment summed it all up—Australia dominant, South Africa desperate, but players like Rabada refusing to go quietly.
Now with Australia already having a solid lead, the pressure is squarely on South Africa’s bowlers—Rabada included—to fight back hard. The Test match isn’t over yet, and if there’s anyone who can turn things around with the ball, it’s Kagiso Rabada. He’s fiery, relentless, and thrives under pressure.
This Lord's Test has already become one for the history books, and Rabada’s gritty resistance—even in the face of Cummins’ storm—adds another compelling layer to this cricketing drama.
