Kagiso Rabada joins ‘Dolly Parton Challenge’ brigade, indirectly mocks ICC
During the recently concluded Test series between South Africa and England, Kagiso Rabada was handed a one-match ban by ICC ahead of the series-decider in Johannesburg. Rabada was found guilty of celebrating excessively in the third Test. It prompted ICC to impose the ban. The decision left the cricketing world divided, with many former and current players voicing out their opinions in defence of the Proteas pacer.
A few days after the Test series, Kagiso Rabada took to Twitter and joined the viral Dolly Parton Challenge. In his tweet, Rabada posted four different images of himself across different platforms. Incidentally, majority of the frames were covered with his infamous celebration that handed him a one-match ban.
