Dubai: The Purple Cap holder of IPL 2020 Kagiso Rabada is being praised by many cricket pundits for his performance against Royal Challengers Banglore. Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting has said that Rabada is one of the best T20 bowlers in the world.
Rabada put out an impressive show during Delhi Capitals' 59-run win against RCB in the IPL on Monday. The pacer picked four wickets to help his side defend a target of 197 runs.
Acknowledging Rabada's efforts, Ponting took to Twitter to write: "@KagisoRabada25's start this season is great reward for his work, one of the best T20 bowlers in the world. Holding RCB to 137 given their power was pleasing, building off the work of our batsmen who set things up. Couple of days now to reset before looking ahead to Rajasthan."
After being asked to bat first, Delhi Capitals set a very competitive target for the Virat Kohli-led side, thanks to Marcus Stoinis' unbeaten 53 runs from 26 balls. Apart from Rabada, Anrich Nortje and Axar Patel performed brilliantly with the ball, clinching two wickets each in the match to take their side over the line.
Sitting at the top of the points table, Delhi Capitals will now take on Rajasthan Royals on October 9.
