"He Can Be India's Version Of AB De Villiers": Dale Steyn Heaps Huge Praise On India Star
One of the greatest batters in the white-ball format, AB de Villiers has mesmerised the world with his unique batting for years. Nicknamed Mr. 360 for his ability to hit the ball all around the park, De Villiers' style is truly one of its kind. But, the cricketing world seems to be getting another 'Mr. 360' in the form of Suyakumar Yadav. Over the last year or so, Surya has developed a reputation for himself as De Villiers' true heir, although not in the South African team. Even legendary Proteas speedster Dale Steyn feels Suryakumar can be Team India's AB de Villiers.
Suryakumar Yadav can be India's version of AB de Villiers: Dale Steyn
Dale Steyn feels the pace and bounce on Australian pitches will suit Suryakumar Yadav's 360-degree game, making him India's go-to player in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Following a hattrick of half-centuries in the bilateral home series against Australia, the Mumbaikar continued his red-hot form Down Under as he slammed a 35-ball 53 in India's 13-run win over Western Australia in a practice match here on Monday. "He is a wonderful 360-degree player, and reminds me of AB de Villiers. He could be India's version of AB de Villiers and with the red-hot form that he's in right now, he's a player to definitely watch out for this World Cup," Steyn said on Star Sports show ‘Cricket Live'. Steyn went on to explain how the Australian conditions would be just perfect for the Indian No. 4 to hit top-gear. The Rohit Sharma-led side will face Australia on October 17 at the Gabba in the official warm-up game before taking on Pakistan in their tournament opener on October 23.
