Rabada took seven wickets in the first innings. With the tenth wicket, Rabada also became the leading wicket taker of the series.
Born May 1995, the right-arm fast bowler also bats left-handed.
Rabada was congratulated with a standing ovation as South Africa won the final test by 280 runs as England were all out for 101.
Rabada’s figures were 7-112 in 29 overs in the first innings and 6-32 in 10.4 overs in the second innings.
The 20 year old, represented his country in the under 19 Cricket World Cup in 2014, which they won impressively.
Rabada said afterwards: “It’s great to be in this environment. It’s what I’ve always wanted to do.”
Other news wires report that: “England have lost six wickets in just over an hour… There might have been a Rourke’s Drift spirit in the dressing room at the start of the day but this has become a run-of-the-mill massacre.”

His favourite quote is:” A strength of mine is that I have always dreamed and backed myself to achieve anything I set my mind to.”
