After playing the first two matches for Royal Challengers Bangalore at IPL 2020, the role of South African fast pitcher Dale Steyn has been limited to guiding the young rapid of Royal Challengers Bangalore. RCB owns a group of promising pacemakers such as Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj, Isuru Udana and Shahbaz Ahmed and while Steyn is believed to have had a role to play in its growth, SA is quick to refrain from taking any credit.

“I want to take all the glory, but unfortunately I can’t,” Steyn joked when asked by Parthiv Patel about helping RCB’s young pacemakers in a video uploaded to RCB’s Twitter. “Everyone is really interested in learning. Youngsters in batting are learning from the best hitter Virat and ABD. Obviously, the same thing happens to bowlers. Everyone is talking to Chris (Morris) and me. It is good to share knowledge. “

Steyn intervened in Siraj’s bowling record spell against Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday. The fast 26-year-old produced impressive 3/8 figures, becoming the only bowler in IPL history to throw two maidens in the same match. Siraj’s performance in Abu Dhabi was a stark contrast to his expensive 0/44 figures against Kings XI Punjab. From that, to get to a performance like this, Steyn acknowledges that he shows the character that Siraj is made of.

“They were amazing. I thought Siraj would come back from his last game against Kolkata Knight Riders in Sharjah when he went out for a couple of races and acting this way shows the character he is and the kind of player he is,” Steyn explained. Congratulations on him and I think everyone fit in very well tonight. One of those nights where everything works out. “
