Kagiso Rabada entered his name in the history books on Wednesday (October 22) by breaking the record of highest individual score by a No. 11 batter in Test cricket for South Africa. The 30-year-old pacer from Johannesburg came out to bat at No. 11 on Wednesday and scored 71 runs from 61 balls.

He hammered four fours and four sixes during his stay at the crease and added 98 runs from 117 balls for the 10th wicket with Senuran Muthusamy, who remained unbeaten on 89 runs from 155 balls (8 fours).

Before Rabada, the record of the highest individual score in Test cricket by a No. 11 batter for South Africa was in the name of Bert Vogler. Vogler remained unbeaten on 62 runs for South Africa in their first innings of the Cape Town Test played against England in 1906.
