Proteas dethrone Australia at Newlands to be crowned undisputed Kings of Test cricket
The Proteas are the World Test Champions, with the golden mace safely secured, and have now toppled Australia from the summit of the ICC rankings.
Kagiso Rabada reached 350 Test wickets on the final day at Newlands, in 13,808 balls - fewer than any other bowler in history. He took two wickets in the first over of Australia's chase, and reached the milestone in his fourth over. Rabada becomes the fourth South African to reach 350, behind Dale Steyn, Shaun Pollock and Makhaya Ntini.
He is also the second-fastest South African to the landmark by matches played. Rabada's record-breaking performance was celebrated by his supporters, with comparisons to the Rolls Royce of South African bowling.
