'No hate, just testosterone': Rabada on Steve Smith rivalry

Kagiso Rabada and Steve Smith are renewing their high-stakes rivalry as the South Africa-Australia Test series moves toward a final showdown in Cape Town. Following a hamstring recovery, Rabada played a key role in South Africa's innings victory during the second Test, where he claimed the wicket of the Australian veteran.

Despite their history, which includes a controversial 2018 encounter and the subsequent ball-tampering scandal, Rabada maintains that their on-field intensity is driven by competitive spirit rather than personal animosity. Smith, who recently reached the 11,000-run milestone, struggled with a neck issue during the match and was dismissed for three runs after an unsuccessful hook shot.
