Fanie de Villiers has bowled to some of the world’s greatest batters of all time – including Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara. Who earned the most respect from him?
“Mohammed Azharuddin,” de Villers told The Hindu in an interview on an overcast morning at the SuperSport Park, during the second day of the first Test between South Africa and India.
“He was a wristy, stylish batter, but there were others too; I respected him because he could frustrate a bowler.”
