The star South Africa National Cricket Team pacer Kagiso Rabada and the explosive Australia National Cricket Team batsman Tim David got physical during the second T20I.
The second T20I of the three-match series between the Australia National Cricket Team and the South Africa National Cricket Team is currently underway at the Marrara Stadium in Darwin on Tuesday, August 12.
Rabada and Tim David hilariously clashRabada is undoubtedly one of the best pacers in the world across formats, and Tim David has finally started showcasing his real batting prowess in T20 cricket on a consistent basis.
In the T20I series opener between Australia and South Africa, the battle between Kagiso Rabada and Tim David was an exciting one to watch, and it continued in the second T20I as well.
The powerhouse David is known for his playing fiery innings and smashing the bowlers out of the park, but doing that against Rabada is not an easy job, as the Proteas pacer is highly accurate with his lines and lengths and can give nightmares to the batters.
Meanwhile, in the second T20I, two match-winners and aggressive players of their respective teams were involved in a hilarious physical altercation.
On the second ball of the 5th over in the second innings, Kagiso Rabada bowled a slower leg-cutter down leg to Mitchell Marsh, who missed the big heave and could only push the ball a few meters away to his right.
Tim David and Mitchell Marsh quickly took off for a single, and Kagiso Rabada charged at the ball in his follow-through. Rabada and David collided as they ran in the same direction, and the pacer was seen physically blocking David from reaching inside the crease.
Rabada had a big smile on his face when he did that, and then he hilariously said something to Tim David before pushing him. It was an amusing moment between the duo, and the video quickly went viral on social media.
