Delhi: Former South African batsman AB de Villiers has recently named three best bowlers of his career in a conversation with Star Sports. However, he did not choose bowlers like Wasim Akram, Brett Lee, Shoaib Akhtar, Jawagal Srinath, Jaspreet Bumrah, Kagiso Rabada, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, but gave it to Mohammad Asif, Dale Stein and Glenn McGrag in their list.
Mohammad Asif is chosen at number one
De Villiers first named former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Asif. In his era, Asif was considered to be the best swing bowler in the world. Although his career was limited due to injuries and controversies, his bowling line-length and swing made him extremely dangerous for the batsmen. Asif took 106 wickets in 23 Tests, 46 wickets in 38 ODIs and 13 wickets in 11 T20 international matches.
Dale Stan gave space at number two
At number two De Villiers chose his compatriot great fast bowler Dale Stan. AB said that it was always challenging to bat against Stan. Stan took 439 wickets in 93 matches in his Test career, 196 wickets in 125 ODIs and 64 wickets in 47 T20I matches.
Glenn Macgra told third best bowler
Mr. 360 degree won the third number of Australia veteran fast bowler Glenn McGrag. Macgra took 563 wickets in 124 Tests, 381 wickets in 250 ODIs and 5 wickets in 2 T20 matches.
Significantly, AB de Villiers made it clear that this selection is based on his personal experiences and facing these three bowlers was one of the biggest challenges of his career.
