One of the fastest and the most aggressive fast bowlers of our generation, Dale Steyn has demolished some of the greatest batting line-ups in the world in the blink of an eye. With more than 650 international wickets, Steyn has single-handedly won a lot of games for South Africa.

However, there is one player he did like to bowl at and it was none other than Virender Sehwag. According to Steyn, if a bowler didn’t keep his lengths tight, he would be smacked by the ruthlessly aggressive Indian opener ruthlessly. The veteran pacer labelled the right-hander as a 'nightmare' while recalling his triple century in Chennai in 2008.
