With a guy who has got so many shots, I almost never see him be frantic and feel rushed. He’s just got this calmness about him,” said Du Plessis in a video posted on ESPNCricinfo.
“He knows when to pull that trigger, go through the gears, and he just always looks calm. He’s just a fantastic T20 player to watch. He’s the perfect guy that, as a youngster, you look at how you go through different gears at different stages of the game,” he added.
