Speaking about Indian legend Virat Kohli, Rabada described him as extremely difficult to dismiss.Rabada said:
"I think Kohli was very difficult to dismiss. He was very frugal with his wicket, and he just kept batting. When you got him out, you knew you had earned it. You knew you had been in a fight. He was difficult to dismiss."

He was the only batsman who could do that against me. In terms of stopping runs, David Warner has been the toughest batsman to stop."
