Hazlewood has picked up 151 wickets in 40 Tests and 72 wickets in 44 One Day Internationals. Often compared with Glenn McGrath, the 27-year-old has troubled the batsmen with his sublime accuracy. However, he has named AB de Villers as the toughest batsmen to bowl at.

Hazlewood termed South African swashbuckler AB de Villiers as the toughest batsman to bowl against given his compact technique and ability to score with innovative strokes.

One of the greatest batsmen of our generation, de Villiers has dominated almost every bowler on the planet during his playing days and was quite ruthless.
