Rohit picks the Proteas legend Dale Steyn as the toughest bowler he has ever faced in his career. The hitman admitted to watching videos of Steyn a lot before meeting him on the pitch. Rohit is amazed by Steyn’s ability to swing the ball even at a higher pace.
“I have gone and watched his videos like 100 times before I went in to bat. That was 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. 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,” Rohit said.
Steyn is one of the scariest pace bowlers in cricket history. The South African star has amassed 439 red ball wickets and 260 white ball wickets in his whole career.
