Rabada was hitting NZ pacers for fun in the test match at Christchurch a month back. That innings had some of the cleanest ball striking. He’s been in some good touch.

The reason why @PunjabKingsIPL don’t find themselves in spot to win @IPL is they have management who prefer to send Rahul Chahar to bat before Rabada.. #IPL #KKRvPBKS #UmeshYadav
