Protean pacer Dale Steyn is one of the great cricketers to have played the sport. He retired from Test cricket but has continued to ply his trade in the shortest format of the game. Steyn decided to hand his Test boots in 2019 while focusing more on the limited-overs format. He had earlier revealed that he wont be part of IPL 2021 after his previous franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore had decided to release him ahead of the auction.

Within that, when he was asked about one thing that he would like to steal from another bowler, Steyn replied it would be Jasprit Bumrah‘s yorker. The Indian pacer is one of the best exponents of the delivery in the modern game.
