Allan Donald was part of the South African pace arsenal which the entire cricketing world feared in the 90s. Even the legendary Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara failed to replicate their success in South Africa during Donald's reign. He is one of the most feared fast bowlers South Africa has ever produced. The 'White Lightning' retired in 2002 after claiming 602 International wickets in his illustrious career.

Rohit Sharma, a.k.a 'Hitman' is one of the most brutal batsmen of the modern age. He has the habit of smashing even the most feared fast bowlers to a square-leg six with much ease. He has three double centuries against his name. However, the South African bowlers have always managed to keep him quiet. While his career average stands at 47.5, his average against South Africa stands at 28.00.

Had Donald and Rohit played in the same era, Could the South African fast bowler torment the Indian star? We all want this answer. However, the time has other answers as they played in different cricketing eras.
