Aaron Finch, the right-handed Australia opener, is one of the clean hitters of the ball in the world. He also holds the record for the highest individual score of 172 runs in T20I. During his peak, he was a nightmare for any bowler. But, one player who has put him in trouble within his entire career so far is Dale Steyn. However, he has come up with a statement that might excite his on-field competitor.
The right-handed batter, who is the skipper of the Australian cricket team in the limited-overs format, has struggled a lot in the Tests. After a poor series against India at home last summer, he was sidelined and is still to find a place in the longer format again.
Steyn and Finch share a strong competition on the cricket field. Who can forget the dream delivery bowled by the former fast-bowler to dismiss settled Aaron Finch at the time of the triangular ODI series in 2014 when South Africa and Australia were up against each other?
Steyn’s dream delivery is still in the Finch’s mind
After opening the innings, Aaron Finch was fixed and looking dangerous to win the game against the Proteas. However, within the innings, Steyn started to reverse swing the ball and immediately gathered rewards. In the 28th over of the innings, the pace bowler took Finch’s wicket by uprooting the middle stump with an unplayable dream delivery. It has been four years since, and it seems like Steyn’s dream ball is still disturbing Finch’s mind.
Recently, the Australian international had a Q&A session to interact with fans. So, a fan questioned Finch whether Dale Steyn is the toughest bowler he has ever faced. Aaron Finch exited his fan with a heartwarming reply in which he wrote, “Absolute legend of the game!!”

Here is Aaron Finch’s reply
Another fan also asked him if he likes “Pink ball or Red Ball?”. It is known that Finch is not passionate about facing red-ball because he feels uncomfortable while playing in the Tests. So, he replied, “White.”
