In the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia, South Africa`s premier pacer Kagiso Rabada claimed five wickets on Day 1 of the Lord`s encounter.

Reflecting on his performance, legendary South African pacer Dale Steyn heaped praises on Rabada by saying he is just a fantastic bowler.

"He (Rabada) got the ball to swing well. It started with Alex Carey playing a poor first-ball shot to Keshav Maharaj, he did not need to play that. There was a sweeper out too. His dismissal opened up an end, and then Rabada came in and did what he does best--picked up wickets. Jansen also found swing and attacked the stumps, much like Australia did later. Australia actually took a leaf out of South Africa`s book. Rabada, once he senses an opportunity, goes for the kill. He is just a fantastic bowler. When he retires, we will truly be able to talk about his greatness, but on Day 1, he was outstanding," said the veteran of 439 Test wickets.
