South African pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada has joined elite company after completing 350 Test wickets during the second innings of the Newlands Test in Cape Town against Australia. With the visitors needing 288 to win the match and the three-match series 2-1, they suffered an early collapse, triggered by Rabada inside the first five overs. He first picked up two wickets in his first over, removing Matt Renshaw and underfire Marnus Labuschagne before accounting for Travis Head to unlock this milestone. Playing his 75th Test, Rabada became the second-quickest South African (Test-wise) after Dale Steyn to achieve this feat. &nbsp;Rabada missed the series opener in Durban but returned to the playing XI for the second Test in Gqeberha, helping his team win that Test to level the series 1-1. Sitting at 346 Test wickets before the start of the third Test, Rabada picked up just one in Australia’s first innings but broke their back with a brilliant spell with the new ball on Day 5 in Cape Town.&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/india-a-vs-nz-a-2nd-unofficial-test-day-1-dhruv-jurel-padikkal-1793428364836">Dhruv Jurel's 99* and Devdutt Padikkal's 80 power India A to 291/7 on Day 1 of 2nd NZ A game</a> &nbsp;While Rabada took six more Tests than Steyn (69), who is the fastest South African to 350 Test wickets, he has joined the elite company of fast bowlers quickest to this feat.
