Kagiso Rabada Way Better than Me at the Moment - Dale Steyn

South Africa’s pace sensation Kagiso Rabada has carved a niche for himself. He bowls at a good pace, expresses himself and executes plans to perfection.
The Proteas fans have been blessed to have witnessed some quality bowling out of their homegrown territory. However, veteran pacer Dale Steyn is one of them, and he backs Rabada to come good.
Dale Steyn heaped praise on Rabada and said he is keen to get the best out of the wonder boy. With the 2019 World Cup not too far away, Steyn feels Rabada will play a vital part in the global tournament.
The veteran pacer feels, at the moment, Kagiso Rabada is way better than he was. He also thinks the youngster will shape up well if he learns the craft from the man himself.
Steyn heaps praise on Rabada
“He’s way better than me. I have obviously got my records and everything, but he’s way better than I am right now. What he lacks is what I have, and that’s what I can share going forward. I will just carry on doing what I do, and he can feed off that, he can learn off that and he can just become so much better,” Steyn said.
The senior man stressed the lack of experience campaigners in limited overs cricket. He feels that’s a huge difference, unlike the case in the batting facet.
“Our biggest problem in white ball cricket now is our bowling. I don’t think it’s a massive issue, but I think in terms of experience it’s our biggest problem. If you look at our top six batters, those guys have all played 800-plus games. But if you look at our bowling, our bottom four, they have probably played 150 games. That’s a massive difference. There’s a heavyweight that weighs up there,” he added.
