Dale Steyn reveals his favorite IPL team and tells reason why he opted out of IPL this season!

Proteas pacer Dale Steyn revealed his favourite IPL team for the upcoming IPL 2021 season. He answered the questions asked by fans as a part of a quick Q & A session set on twitter.

Dale Steyn previously represented Royal Challengers Bangalore,  Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Lions in Indian Premier League but opted out to be a part of the marquee tourney this season.

Here are some of the Q&A replies by Dale Steyn on Twitter.

Which is more rewarding RCB or Quetta Gladiators?

Steyn: Did you buy your followers? Haha

Who is the best cricketing brain you have seen?

Steyn: Sanga and Mahela were amazing! Kallis, Smith were also just phenomenal during my time with Proteas. Duncan Fletcher explains the game better than any one I’ve ever met, and Gary Kirsten ran a team like a well drilled happy army!

If you could rewind time, would you rather have been a pro skater, pro surfer or pro cricketer?

Steyn: Pro Fisherman! Haha

Why do you think we are seeing fewer yorkers in Test Cricket?

Steyn: Never really seen a coach offer yorkers as a practice drill for Tests…anyway, there’s definitely a place for it in the game, just watch Wasim and Waqar.

On being asked why he opted out of IPL:

Bottom line is Steyn is at the end of his career. He was unlikely to be selected anyway. Hence his comments.

100% truth. And if I was selected might not even play, hence playing smaller leagues and guaranteed a spot in the starting 11 seems a more obvious choice for me at my point of my career, doesn’t mean IPL isn’t still the biggest and most obvious goal for all other cricketers.

Steyn opined he is likely to get more chances to play in the main XI in other leagues than IPL at this moment.

Dale Steyn was also asked about his favorite IPL team by one of the fans for which he replied he has a liking for all teams but feels Mumbai Indians gets his vote for being the stable team with one of his favorite Proteas players Quinton de Kock playing for it!

Favorite IPL team?

Steyn: All teams, but Mumbai seem to have a solid thing going. QDK also one of my favorite players so always support him too
