[Watch] Kagiso Rabada hilariously does a detailed Pitch Report ahead of SA-WI 2nd Test
South African pacer Kagiso Rabada was at his hilarious best as he did a detailed pitch report on the sidelines of one of the Caribbean beaches ahead of the second Test against the West Indies. The two-Test series saw the opener at Trinidad play out to a thrilling draw on a rollercoaster final day with the home side finishing on 201/5, chasing 298.
In a rain-interrupted outing, the Proteas scored a competitive 357 on a slow and tacky wicket in their first innings. West Indies replied with only 233 in their first essay before South Africa raced to 173/3 declared in the second innings to set the hosts a 298-run target in 72 overs.
However, further rain meant only 56.2 overs of the final innings was bowled before both captains shook hands for a draw.
With the deciding second Test only a day away, Rabada did his own version of the pitch report in beach clothes, much to the delight of his teammates.
Here is a video of the same:
On a spin-friendly pitch in the first Test, Rabada was among the few pacers that still made a mark.
The champion bowler finished with excellent figures of 3/56 in the first innings to help the Proteas capture a valuable lead. Rabada also picked up one of the five wickets South Africa grabbed in their push for victory in the final innings to finish with match figures of 4/94.

The first South Africa-West Indies Test also saw Kagiso Rabada overtake the legendary Jacques Kallis in Test wickets.
The 29-year-old moved into sixth place on South Africa's all-time list with 295 wickets, four clear of Kallis. Rabada's Test numbers are nothing short of sensational, with an average of 22.07 and 14 four and five-wicket hauls in only 63 outings.
He is now only behind stalwarts Dale Steyn, Shaun Pollock, Makhaya Ntini, Allan Donald, and Morne Morkel among South Africa bowlers in terms of overall Test wickets.
Rabada will be back in action looking to scale the 300 Test wickets landmark in the second Test at Guyana, starting on Thursday, August 15.
