‘We are fairly inexperienced…’: Kagiso Rabada’s honest take on historic World Test Championship title victory

South African star pacer Kagiso Rabada has stated that the team’s historic win in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 final was much more memorable because the team was “fairly inexperienced“, and still managed to secure the title against an Australian team that is filled with great players.
Under the leadership of Temba Bavuma, South Africa ended their 27-year-long drought for an International Cricket Council (ICC) trophy, as they beat Australia in the WTC final at Lord’s.
“We are a fairly inexperienced team who got together about a year ago, we have not been with each other for a long time, and we have gone on and produced this. I’ll never forget this in my life, none of the boys will forget this,” Rabada told the ICC.

The South African pacer- who stepped up when needed and marked his dominance as the leader of the pace bowling attack- also stated that his team’s players had adored the Australian team since their younger days, and defeating them made the triumph even more special.
“Australia are a well accustomed team and with all due respect, a bit of an aging team. Some of those guys were playing when we were still in high school. If you put into perspective for the younger players what that’s like. It is special, it hasn’t sunk in,” Rabada saidd.
