Dale Steyn Advised Not to Chuck by US Staff During T20 World Cup: Viral Video Emerges
Title: Legendary South African Pacer Dale Steyn Advised Not to Chuck While Bowling in the US
In a surprising turn of events, former South African fast-bowling great Dale Steyn was advised not to chuck while delivering the ball by a member of the US staff during the T20 World Cup season. The incident, captured in a viral video that has taken social media by storm, showcases the lack of recognition for the cricket legend in the United States.
Steyn, who announced his retirement from cricket in 2021, is currently in America as part of the star-studded commentary panel for the men’s T20 World Cup. Despite his illustrious career and reputation as one of the best bowlers of his generation, the Proteas’ speedster found himself receiving bowling tips from an unsuspecting staff member.
With 439 wickets in 93 Test matches for South Africa, Steyn’s legacy in international cricket is undeniable. Named ICC 2008 Test Cricketer of the Year and Wisden’s Leading Cricketer in the World in 2013, the 40-year-old remained the No.1 bowler in the ICC Test rankings for a record 263 weeks from 2008 to 2014.
Having represented South Africa in 125 ODIs and 47 T20Is, Steyn also showcased his talent in the Indian Premier League (IPL) playing for teams like Royal Challengers Bangalore, Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Gujarat Lions.
The viral video of Steyn being taught how to bowl in the US serves as a reminder of the global impact of cricket and the enduring legacy of a player who has left an indelible mark on the sport.
