Star Pakistani batsman, Babar Azam has revealed that he didn’t find South African legend, Dale Steyn, threatening owing to his clean action that makes spotting the ball easier.
Talking about the hardest bowlers he has faced in his career, Babar singled out bowlers from trans-Tasman countries, Australia and New Zealand.
Every team has bowlers that bowl above 140 kph and are experienced. Bowlers like Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Trent Boult always give you a tough time. But, I didn’t have any difficulty facing Dale Steyn. His action is clean so it is easier to spot the ball.
