Rabada reached the landmark during the second T20I of the five-match series against India at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack. After South Africa captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and chose to bowl, the fifth delivery of the first over was driven loosely by the opener Ruturaj Gaikwad and was caught at the point by Keshav Maharaj, earning Rabada his 50th scalp in the shortest format of the game. Gaikwad was back to the pavilion for just 1 of 4 balls.
