Rabada reveals key reason behind Lord's Aussie onslaught

London, June 12 (UNI) As South Africa’ skipper Temba Bavuma won the toss and opted to bowl in the ICC World Test Championship Final 2025 against Australia at Lord’s, the onus with the new ball fell to Kagiso Rabada and the seasoned campaigner took little time to make his mark on the Ultimate Test.
Removing Australia opener Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green in his opening burst, Rabada went on to claim his 17th five-wicket haul in Tests. His spell helped South Africa bundle the defending champions out for 212.
But Rabada believes the Proteas could’ve managed to run through the Aussie batting much sooner.
