10 cricketers and their cricketing idols

3) Kagiso Rabada – Dale Steyn

At the moment, the cricketer who can bring back the glory days to the South African cricket is none other than Kagiso Rabada. He is a special talent as he can make things happen out of nowhere. He is also one of the few bowlers who can easily adjust to different formats. At 24, he is already leading the bowling department of Proteas.

What separates KG from the rest is his immense self-belief as he never backs down from challenges. In a short amount of time Rabada has turned into a bowling sensation with his wicket-taking abilities. He is expected to rule the cricketing world like his idol Dale Steyn. It was a sight to behold when he operated at full throttle in the classic format.

With close to 450 wickets in 93 Tests, Steyn Gun became one of the deadly weapons in the history of the game. He used to make the best of the batsmen dance to his tunes and so can Rabada. The youngster has admitted that he admires Dale’s line and length stuff. He is fortunate enough to share the dressing room with him in the initial days of his international career and it might have been a dream come true for him.
