hindustantimes.com

Dale Steyn, a legendary South African fast bowler, recently praised fellow bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Kagiso Rabada for their impressive wicket-taking abilities in T20 cricket. He believes these players have a unique "massive wicket-taking mentality." T20 cricket has changed significantly over the years. Batters are now more aggressive, often scoring over 200 runs in a match. Despite this trend, Steyn highlights that a few bowlers can still turn the game around. Bumrah, who played a key role in India winning the T20 World Cup 2024, is one of those bowlers. Steyn will be coaching in various T20 leagues. He looks for bowlers who can take crucial wickets. He sees Bumrah and Rabada as ideal examples of this skill. Rabada will play for Gujarat Titans in the upcoming Indian Premier League, while Bumrah is recovering from a back injury and will miss the start of the season with Mumbai Indians. Steyn emphasized that it is not just about bowling fast. He believes that being able to break the game open at the right moment is what makes bowlers like Bumrah and Rabada so valuable. He thinks producing more bowlers with this mindset will improve fast bowling in the future.
