“@DaleSteyn62 Who’s your favorite opponent to play against? Good on pitch banter/friendliness etc… #q&a #AskSteyn,” a Twitter user questioned Steyn.

Steyn over the years has played with a lot of legendary cricketers; however, he chose Sri Lankan wicket-keeper batsman Kumara Sangakkara as his favourite opponent. Steyn stressed that Sangakkara is perhaps the best cricketer to watch outside of South Africa.

Steyn went on to add that Sangakkara is genuinely the best cricketer in his opinion. Steyn also used a hashtag stating that he has a small crush on Sangakkara.

Probably @KumarSanga2
He’s by far my favorite player to watch outside of SA, but he’s genuinely the BEST guy out there too #smallcrushonSanga https://t.co/RkSgnX49BI

“Probably @KumarSanga2 He’s by far my favourite player to watch outside of SA, but he’s genuinely the BEST guy out there too #smallcrushonSanga,” Dale Steyn answered.

Sangakkara is referred to as one of the gentlemen cricketers to grace the cricketing field ever.  Apart from staggering records to justify his greatness, he is well loved by cricketing fans all over the world for his down to earth attitude.
