“If a bowler who has ever challenged me and I enjoyed playing against him then I’ll have say Dale Steyn,” he said. “He is a class player, he got all the skills and I think this is the reason he doesn’t miss a bounce and can swing so fast and I think there are very less people who could swing 140+ and I think he was the one who could do it consistently.”

Moreover, the India captain said his teammates Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav are the best exponent of playing cover drive, and scoop shot respectively.
He added that Shubman Gill is a rising talent as he has shown immense promise and potential.
Rohit Sharma added India’s Sachin Tendulkar plays the best straight drive and Ricky Ponting – who led Australia to ICC Cricket World Cup wins in 2003 and 2007 – is the master of pull shots.
