AB de Villiers, the iconic South African cricketer, revealed the three most formidable bowlers he encountered in his career. During an interview with Robin Uthappa on JioCinema, the former South Africa captain mentioned Shane Warne, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rashid Khan as the toughest bowlers he has faced.
“I think Shane Warne in 2006 the first time I travelled to Australia, not so much because of skill and technique and also just the presence of the man and the aura he carried. And obviously I was quite inexperienced. I knew from the get-go he was going to get out,” AB de Villiers.
“Bumrah was always very challenging because he was so competitive, he would never back down, is always in your face so I’ve got a lot of respect for him and the way he plays his cricket. Rashid Khan, tough to pick at night once again. Those are the kind of bowlers I always found difficult to face and always had a lot of respect for,” he added.
