Steyn remains committed to spotting emerging talent, emphasizing the importance of players like Bumrah and Rabada who consistently perform under pressure.
Steyn emphasized the evolution of T20 cricket and the batsmen’s approach. He stressed the importance of bowlers having a wicket-taking mindset, especially in T20 leagues where he coaches. Highlighting players like Bumrah and Rabada, Steyn noted their ability to impact matches as requested by their captains.
Steyn addressed the challenges faced by fast bowlers like Umran Malik, who reached speeds of over 150 kph in his IPL debut.
