Who Is The Fastest South African Bowler?

“Rabada is the leader of the South African attack. I’m hoping South Africa can go on and win this World Cup and him doubling up with Anrich Nortje as my other fast bowler from South Africa, I think the two of them in combination are just fantastic,” Steyn said.

Steyn was a fearsome fast bowler in his own right and former South Africa quick produced one of the most memorable moments in T20 World Cup history when he famously defended seven runs off the final over during a group match against New Zealand at the 2014 event in Chattogram.

But with Steyn now retired and part of the impressive list of commentators at the T20 World Cup Down Under, the 39-year-old has been keeping a close eye on all the action at this year’s event in Australia.

Steyn was asked to select his five favorite fast bowlers plying their trade at the T20 World Cup and it should come as no surprise to see the cricketing great include two South Africa quicks in his list.
