Kagiso Rabada showcased his skills as a broadcaster as he hilariously gave a pitch report of a beach on the Caribbean island ahead of the second Test match between South Africa and the West Indies at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.

The first Test between the two sides was played in Port of Spain, Trinidad and the encounter ended in a riveting draw. Rabada bowled well and picked up three wickets in the first innings and one more in the second. After his impressive outing with the ball, the right-arm speedster gave a glimpse of his broadcasting skills to the cricket fraternity ahead of the second Test.

Dressed in proper Caribbean attire, the experienced cricketer did a pitch report of the beach. Hilariously, Rabada analysed the conditions of the beach and provided details of how a cricket pitch would perform on the sandy surface.

In his detailed assessment, Rabada considered the humid conditions and the soft, sandy nature of the 'beachy' pitch, reckoning that it could offer variable bounce. The Johannesburg-born said that the combination of moisture from the nearby sea and dry sand could yield more turn for the spinners. SuperSport shared the hilarious video on their official social media handle.
