XtraTime Web Desk: Kagiso Rabada, the pacer from Delhi Capitals’ camp was happy to stay away from cricket during the lockdown. Speaking about his experience in the lockdown, Rabada said, “Couldn’t try to get much in but I was trying to get away from the game as much as I could. I really did enjoy that break. I think it was blessing in disguise.”
Kagiso is one of the best fast bowlers of modern time and the bests need to motivation to rise above others. When asked about his goals and motivation, Rabada said, “Yeah there is all is big goals. You’re always challenging yourself to be the best you can be and international cricket always finds a way to motivate you. So yeah, I’m really glad to be playing on this stage because it’s just an excellent motivator and just keeps you ticking. So yeah, I think for me to be the best thing I can be. That’s what I’m motivated by.”
Rabada can bowl in the powerplay, middle overs as well as in the deaths. Whenever his captain needs an impactful player, Kagiso steps up. When asked about his preference, Rabada said, “Whenever I bowl, I try to make an impact. I see how can I try and get wickets. Do the job in different parts of the game. I am new ball bowler, that’s what I’ve been used to during my whole career. Also I have to bowl at the death as well. So, whatever comes my way, I know I have to bowl upfront and I’ve bowl at the middle and at the death as well. So, just about covering my bases and seeing where the captain needs me the most. It’s nice to start off but now it’s kind of taking it as it comes.”
