Soon AB de Villiers posted an emoji, where he seemingly tried to remind Dale Steyn that the batsmen could even win matches. The former South African captain has single-handedly helped his team win many matches. Thus, de Villiers was not so happy with the statement made by Dale Steyn on Twitter.

Soon, Steyn replied to de Villiers and said that besides him all other batsmen were for entertainment. He accepted that de Villiers can also win matches with the bat. However, Steyn also clarified that Jasprit Bumrah’s special spell deserved appreciation. He added:
