During an interaction with “Sports Hurricane”, AB de Villiers said, “It’s a difficult one, but Virat is definitely the more natural ball-striker, there’s no doubt about that. In tennis terms, I’d say he’s more like a (Roger) Federer whereas Smith is like a (Rafael) Nadal. Smith is mentally very strong and figures out a way of scoring runs – he doesn’t look natural, but he ends up writing records and doing amazing things at the crease.”
