Rabada lauds batting performance after South Africa’s triumph in Bangladesh
South Africa’s fast bowler Kagiso Rabada says the team’s batting performance was the key to their success in the recently concluded Test series against Bangladesh.
Rabada, who was named man of the series, said that the batsmen showed great resilience and determination throughout the three-match series.
He pointed to the team’s first-innings total of 556 in the first Test as an example of their batting prowess.
"The batsmen showed a lot of character and fight in that innings," Rabada said. "They were able to put up a big score on a difficult wicket, which gave us a great chance to win the match."
Rabada also praised the team’s bowlers, who he said played a vital role in the victory.
"The bowlers did a great job of taking wickets and putting pressure on the Bangladesh batsmen," Rabada said. "They made it difficult for them to score runs, which was key to our success."
Rabada’s comments were echoed by captain Dean Elgar, who said that the team’s batting performance was a major factor in their victory.
"The batsmen really stood up in this series," Elgar said. "They showed a lot of skill and determination, and they were able to put up some big scores on difficult wickets."
Elgar also praised the team’s bowlers, who he said bowled with great discipline and accuracy throughout the series.
"The bowlers did a great job of keeping the pressure on the Bangladesh batsmen," Elgar said. "They made it difficult for them to score runs, and they were able to take wickets at crucial times."
South Africa’s victory in Bangladesh was their first Test series win in the country since 2008.
The team will now turn their attention to the upcoming Test series against India, which begins on December 26.
