Dale Steyn gets floored by Indian youngster –
Former South African pace ace, Dale Steyn was known to be terrifying for his pace. Post his retirement from the game in 2021, the fast bowler has become a coach. Steyn is now the fast bowling coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Post the game against Kolkata, fast bowlers Kulwant Khejroliya and Vaibhav Arora were seen chatting with Steyn. The South African great was heard telling the two to get in touch with him if they need any tips. That’s when Khejroliya said that “You were my first Instagram DP.
Steyn’s reaction leaves everyone humbled –
Once Dale Steyn heard this, the South African was stunned for a moment before asking the Indian bowler if it really was the case. When the Indian bowler replied in the affirmative, Steyn seemed to be taken aback albeit in a very happy manner.
Big game for Mumbai and Hyderabad –
