South African pacer Kagiso Rabada celebrates his 27th birthday on May 25, 2022. Over the years, the express pacer from Johannesburg has proved to be a valuable asset for his national team of the franchises he has represented. Talking about Rabada numbers in IPL, the right-arm pacer made his debut during the 2017 IPL edition for the Delhi Capitals. So far, he played 63 matches and has scalped as many as 99 wickets. Rabada represented Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the current IPL edition and gave some impressive performances with the ball in hand. On that note, let us take a look at the top three spells of Rabada in IPL history.

4/33 against GT (IPL 2022)

The express pacer Rabada was too hot to handle for the Gujarat Titans batter during a group stage match of IPL 2022. The right-arm pacer scalped a total of four wickets including Wriddhiman Saha, Rashid Khan, Lockie Ferguson, and Rahul Tewatia. As a result, PBKS won that contest by a comfortable margin of eight wickets, and Rabada was adjudged player of the match for his bowling antics.

3/36 against PBKS (IPL 2021)

Kagiso Rabada took three vital wickets for his side Delhi Capitals during a group stage match of IPL 2021. DC, after winning the toss, opted to have a bowl first. Their decision was proven right as Rabada first scalped one of the PBKS opening batters Prabhsimran Singh before scalping the huge wicket of Chris Gayle. Rabada then came back to the spell and scalped Chris Jordan as well to finish 3/36.

4/29 against SRH (IPL 2020)

The speedster Rabada was having some day out in the middle during a group stage match of IPL 2020. Playing against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the right-arm pacer completely demolished the Orange Army batting after line-up after scalping four wickets and giving away only 29 runs in his four-over quota. In the end, DC won the contest in the end and Rabada managed to overtake Jasprit Bumrah for the Purple Cap race.
