He said: 
 

If a bowler who has ever challenged me and I enjoyed playing against him then I’ll have 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 and I think there are very less people who could swing 140+ and I think he was the one who could do it consistently
