Summary
Kagiso Rabada nearly missed playing in the final against Australia after being suspended for a recreational drug use but has been cleared to face him next month. The 29-year-old, who accepted responsibility, will likely resume his cricket as soon as possible, including a match for Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League. He praised his performance post-suspension and highlighted his dedication to improving since his return. Rabada now holds 327 Test wickets at an average of 22 and faces struggles in recent Australia series where he took only 11 wickets at an average of 32 apiece.
