IPL 2018: 3 South African bowlers who can replace Kagiso Rabada

With Kagiso Rabada being ruled out of the Indian Premier League just days before the season kicks off, the Delhi Daredevils will need to find an adequate replacement for the young fast bowler from South Africa.

There will be a lot of players whose names will be thrown around, but I believe that the way to go should be to replace a Protea with another Protea, especially since South Africa have no shortage of quality fast bowlers just ripe for the picking.

Whether this will be a popular opinion or not remains to be seen. However, there is no denying that the three Proteas fast bowlers featured on this list would make excellent and capable replacements for the young speedster.

South Africa v England - First Test: Day Three

Morne Morkel recently retired from international cricket after the Test series between South Africa and Australia but has shown that he still has a lot to offer any bowling attack. The tall fast bowler went unsold at the IPL auction but this could be his chance to make his way into this season.

Morkel would be the ideal replacement for Rabada due to his pace and bounce and the Delhi Daredevils should give some serious thought to selecting this legend of a bowler.
