Former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn was awe-struck by Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for his match-winning spell against England in the fourth Test at The Oval. Bumrah picked up two wickets on the final day to put India ahead in the match which they won by 157 runs.
After the game, Steyn posted a tweet for the bowlers and wrote, "Batters wow the crowd, Bowlers win you games." His former South Africa teammate AB de Villiers seems to have not liked it much.

De Villiers reacted to the post with an emoji before Steyn clarified that the tweet wasn't for him. "Haha! Besides you. But Bumrah was pretty special yesterday #nodrawswithspellslikethat", he tweeted.
To which, De Villiers wrote that next time Steyn should praise the bowler instead of taking a dig at batters. He tweeted, "Well, next time maybe just say 'well bowled, Bumrah?' ".
In another tweet, the star Proteas batsman jokingly tweeted that he was gonna buy a Non-Fungible Token of Steyn before this tweet. "I was gonna buy one of your nft’s! Now you can suck it," he wrote for Steyn who recently launched his NFTs after announcing retirement from all forms of the game.
