Kagiso Rabada Becomes Victim Of 'Oops Moment' While Fielding In SA vs AUS WTC 2025 Final; Watch Video

South African speedster Kagiso Rabada encountered an embarrassing moment on day one of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia at the Lord's Cricket Ground. In a video surfaced on social media, Rabada's trousers almost fully came off while trying to prevent a boundary off Beau Webster's bat.

The moment occurred in the 44th over of the innings sent down by off-spinner Aiden Markram. Webster went for the paddle sweep as Rabada came running around and put in a dive to prevent it. However, the 30-year-old's trousers came down as he put in the dive.
