South Africa pacer Kagiso Rabada once again got the wicket of India captain Rohit Sharma in the ongoing Boxing Day Test at the SuperSport Park in Centurion.

Rohit was castled for a duck by an outstanding delivery from Rabada, who got the batter's wicket for the seventh time in Test cricket, which is the most by any bowler against the Hitman.

"That Rabada delivery to Rohit would have got most batters in the world. That's how good it was," the commentators on air said after the wicket.

This is the first time ever that Rohit has been dismissed without opening his account in the ICC World Test Championship.

The dismissal also saw Rabada complete 50 Test wickets against India. He has picked 41 wickets against India in 7 home Tests and 9 in 6 matches played in the sub-continent.

Rabada has been Rohit's nemesis in international cricket, having got the prized scalp of the Indian skipper on 14 occasions across formats.

Rohit has been dismissed for a duck on 5 occasions in Tests, 3 of which have come against the Proteas and he was clean bowled by Rabada, Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn.
