Delhi Capitals surprisingly released their young opener Jake Fraser-McGurk during the IPL retention day on October 31. The Australian bit-hitter is likely to attract a bidding war in the IPL 2025 mega auction.
Kagiso Rabada was reinstated as the World No 1 Test bowler in the ICC Rankings and on the very same day, he surpassed a couple of Test greats on the list of leading wicket-takers. South Africa are in a pole position to seal the second Test and the series against Bangladesh in Chattogram.
South Africa were in firm control of the second Test after having Bangladesh four down in their first innings in Chattogram, having conceded 575 runs with the ball.

Quinton de Kock was the architect of South Africa's thrilling win over the defending champions England at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia. The southpaw scored 65 off 38 balls and made batting look extremely easy.
Kagiso Rabada has claimed just four wickets in three games of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 edition. The right-arm pacer has bowled at an economy rate of 5.58 and hopes to add more numbers to the wickets column.
Cricket South Africa has been on the receiving end of criticism from former ministers and ex-administrators regarding the composition of the country's T20 World Cup squad. The lack of black African players in the 15 has touched the raw nerve with the representation sword hanging over CSA.
Punjab Kings have already been eliminated from the playoff race. They are languishing at the bottom of the IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 points table with just four wins after eight fixtures.

South Africa landed a knockout punch on India as they won the Boxing Day Test in Centurion within three days. It was an abject surrender from the Indian team with both bat and ball as they first conceded a 163-run lead and then were folded for just 131 with Virat Kohli putting up some fight.

The returning South African pacer Kagiso Rabada took five wickets to dominate the opening day of the first Test match against India at Centurion's SuperSport Park. KL Rahul's unbeaten 70 runs helped India score 208/8 in 59 overs as rain ended Day 1's play early.
India have found themselves in trouble after losing the toss on Day 1 losing quick wickets. Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer resisted briefly to register a half-century stand but post lunch, both of them have been dismissed with Kagiso Rabada being the nemesis for them.
