Amid coronavirus pandemic, the entire world has come on a standstill mode. Almost every spo♔rting event has been stopped. Cri🌌cket has also been impacted severely. Lots of bilateral series and tournaments have either been postponed or cancelled.
In🔯 the meantime, cricketers are spending time at their homes. Some are following self-isolation while some are enjoying being with family. To pass the free time, they are also heading towards🌱 social media platforms to engage with fans and followers.
In the process, veteran Sou𒊎th Africa pacer Dale Steyn took to Twitter and ran a Q/A session to interact with his fans and tried to answer many questions.
Lockdown boredom. Q and A anyone?

The Proteas fast bowler has played against one of the best batsmen the cricketing world hꦐas ever seen, and a fan asked Steyn to name a few whom he rates really high.
Best batsman you’ve ever played against

Steyn responded to the question and took names of two Indian batsmen anꦬd one each꧙ from Australia, West Indies and England.
He started by naming former Australian captain Ricky Ponting and said he was a prime bat🦋sman.
Then he went with the genius Indian pair of Sachin Tendulkar and R﷽ahul Dravid. Steyn finished by taking names of Caribbean star Chris Gayle and English cricketer Kevin Pietersen.
🐭Faaak bud they all good ey! Ponting was prime, Sachin was a wall, Dravid, Gay💫le, KP, they were all so good!

Another fan asked 💫the mighty 🔯African bowler, to name a T20 wicket or a spell that is special to him.
One T20 Wicket or a spell that is special to you?
— RCB Fan Army Official (@rcbfanarmy)
Steyn replied to the query and stated that his spell against West Indies in Port Elizabeth rema🦩ins his favourite.
Steyn also showed his f꧋unny side when he ende🦄d up the answer by saying that despite the exceptional performance, his team still lost the game.
I played a 20/20 against West Indies in Port Elizabeth many, many years ago, blew a few poles away woth some yorkers aꦡnd a good slower ball, loved that performance, but we still lost, haha
