    What's the story

    Kagiso Rabada's six-wicket haul powered South Africa to an 87-run win in the first Test versus West Indies.

    The star pacer claimed 6/50 in the fourth innings as the visitors were bundled out for 159.

    Notably, Rabada took two wickets in WI's first innings as well, playing a pivotal role in his side's win.

    Here we look at his stats.

    Stats 

    A fiery spell from Rabada 

    Chasing 247 runs at the SuperSport Park in Centurion, WI were off to a horrendous start as Rabada breathed fire with the red cherry. His brilliance reduced the visitors to 33/5.

    Rabada later cleaned up the tale as West Indies fell way short of the target.

    Rabada now owns 19 wickets in just three Tests against WI at 11.57 (5W:2).

    Stats 

    How Rabada has fared in Tests

    Rabada has scalped 276 wickets in 59 Tests at 22.53.

    The tally includes 13 fifers and four match 10-wicket hauls.

    Only Nathan Lyon (317) and Ravichandran Ashwin (322) have taken more Test wickets since Rabada's Test debut.

    The speedster owns 169 wickets in 30 home Tests.

    Away from home, he has 107 wickets in 29 appearances.

    Information

    SA's seventh-highest wicket-taker in Tests 

    Meanwhile, Rabada is one of only seven South African bowlers to scalp 250 or more wickets in Tests. He is in the elite company of Dale Steyn (439), Shaun Pollack (421), Makhaya Ntini (390), Allan Donald (330), Morne Morkel (309), and Jacques Kallis (291).

    Information

    Joint-most wickets in Tests 

    It must be noted that Rabada finished the year 2022 with 47 wickets in nine Tests at a sensational average of 22.25. The tally includes a couple of five-wicket hauls. Only Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon scalped as many wickets.

    Stats 

    100 wickets in WTC 

    Rabada became the fifth bowler to complete 100 wickets in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC). He accomplished the feat in just 22 games at 23.86.

    Only Nathan Lyon (136), Ravichandran Ashwin (125), Pat Cummins (123), and Stuart Broad (112) own more WTC wickets than Rabada.

    With 63 wickets in 12 games, Rabada is the second-highest wicket-taker in the ongoing WTC cycle.

    Summary 

    How did the match pan out? 

    SA posted 342 after opting to bat, with Dean Elgar (71) and Aiden Markram (115) starring with the bat.

    Alzarri Joseph claimed 5/81. Anrich Nortje recorded 5/36 as the visitors were folded for 212.

    SA could only manage 116 in their second outing as Kemar Roach took a fifer (5/47).

    Chasing 247, WI were bundled out for 179 thanks to Rabada's brilliance.
