There’s no second-guessing when almost every batsman of this century whoever played Dale Steyn has felt that he was South Africa’s most feared bowler. His bowling was all about accuracy which had extreme pace making the ball swing in both ways. Steyn, when he was at its prime did own the no.1 ranking as a Test bowler for the longest of times.

Virender Sehwag, on the other hand, has always been a difficult proposition to bowl at, especially considering that he never cared about who the bowler was and didn’t take much time when it came to taking him for cleaners. He is also one of the very few batters who have scored a triple hundred on two occasions. One of those occasions was when Sehwag dismantled the South African bowling which had the likes of Steyn, Ntini, Kallis and Morne Morkel.

Here’s what Steyn said while wishing Sehwag on his 42nd birthday “Happy birthday Viru!  Hope its been a good one, my friend. PS. I still have nightmares of Chennai  @virendersehwag.” Steyn’s wishes clearly state that Sehwag has been the toughest one he met on the crease.
