The Proteas suffered a major blow on the eve of the second and final Test against India in Guwahati after it was confirmed that Kagiso Rabada will not recover from a rib injury.
Proteas Test bowling coach Piet Botha has revealed that seam bowler Kagiso Rabada will face a telling 24 hours to determine his participation in the second Test match against India starting on Saturday in Guwahati.
The Proteas had no answers to Jasprit Bumrah as they folded to 159 all out against India on the first day of the first Test at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Kagiso Rabada has hailed the Proteas' victory in the second Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi as "one of the highlights in my career" after the visitors fought back to draw the series.
The Proteas started the defence of their World Test Championship with a drawn series against Pakistan.
Senuran Muthusamy says he’ll remember his partnership with Kagiso Rabada for a long time, after the two guided the Proteas to a 404-run first innings total against Pakistan in their second test.
