He is an absolute legend of the game: Rohit Sharma names toughest bowler he has faced
The Indian captain named the toughest bowler he faced in his career so far. Sharma said, "I have gone and watched his videos like 100 times before I went in to bat. That was Dale Steyn. He is an absolute legend of the game. And what he has achieved in his career is just superb to watch. And I have faced him many times. He is quick.”
The 37-year-old added, “He used to swing the ball at that pace, which is not easy. It is quite tough. And he was a fierce competitor. He just went out there wanting to do everything, to win every game and every session, so it was nice to come up against him. Not that I had much success against him, but I enjoyed my battles.”
