Kagiso Rabada hit the CSA Awards for a six, picking up more prizes than any other player on a single night at the gala event on Saturday night.
The Proteas pace ace walked off with the big double of South African Cricketer of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year.
To add to that, the 23-year-old was named the Test and ODI Cricketer of the Year, the Fans Favourite and awarded with the Delivery of the Year.
It was a remarkable year for the 2016 Cricketer of the Year, who rose to the top of Test rankings.
He says: “I am thankful that I have won these awards. I have worked quite hard. I didn’t think I would win so many awards.
The other award winners in the Proteas squad were now-retired AB de Villiers, who was named the T20I Cricketer of the Year and Newcomer of the Year Aiden Markram, who scored over 1000 runs in his first international season.
Meanwhile, Proteas’ Womens skipper Dane Van Niekerk was named Women’s Cricketer of the Year respectively in 2016.
And the SA Women's Cricketer of the Year Award goes to the well-deserving Dané van Niekerk @danevn81! Put your hands together for Dané. #CSAawards18 pic.twitter.com/Et0REQxJVT
