Dale Steyn IPL journey: 11 seasons, 97 wickets, 22.43 strike-rate, 6.92 economy—South Africa’s speed king tormented batsmen from 2008 to 2020. Bursting onto the scene with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2008, Steyn claimed 97 wickets in 95 bowling innings, firing in 2 176 balls and conceding only 2 508 runs. His blistering 22.43 strike-rate underlines a wicket every 3.7 overs, while a frugal economy of 6.92 kept even power-hitters on a leash. Eight three-wicket bursts showed his love for timely breakthroughs, and although he never reached a five-for, his peak of 3 for 18 in 2010 became a YouTube classic. After spearheading RCB attacks in 2008, 2009 and 2010, Steyn moved to Sunrisers Hyderabad from 2011-2015, morphing the franchise into a bowling fortress at the death. A brief 2016 cameo with Gujarat Titans preceded a victorious return to RCB in 2019-2020, where he closed the curtain on his IPL legacy. With the bat Steyn was a handy lower-order slugger—167 runs off 160 balls, 14 boundaries and 3 sixes, highest 19. Yet the real story is the raw pace and pinpoint yorkers that made Dale Steyn one of IPL’s most feared fast bowlers.
