Rohit Sharma, often referred to as the “Hitman” for his explosive batting, is set to lead the Indian side in the forthcoming World Cup. As one of the most prolific run-scorers in limited-overs cricket, much of India’s hopes for World Cup success rest on his shoulders.

Reflecting on his numerous encounters with Rohit Sharma on the cricket field, Dale Steyn expressed his admiration for the Indian opener. Despite having faced several exceptional batsmen in his illustrious career, Steyn believes Rohit Sharma stands out as a challenging opponent.

“If a bowler who has ever challenged me and I enjoyed playing against him, then I’ll have to say Dale Steyn. 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. I think there are very less people who could swing 140+ and I think he was the one who could do it consistently,” remarked Rohit Sharma in a recent interview.
