???Main hamesha Dale Steyn ko follow kar raraha hun jab se main unko dekh raha hun. Unka jo aggression hai woh kaafi pasand hai mujhe. Jis tarah se woh wicket leke aggression karta hai, kosish karta hun ki main bhi ground pe ussi tarah he aggression karun, but mera thoda sa zhaya hi ho jata hai. But Dale Steyn mera all-time??? favourite hain.

We have to debate strengths and weaknesses so that we are clear about what and where we need to invest for the betterment of our team??? said the PCB Chairman.
