Back in the 2019 season, Steyn came in as a replacement for an injured Nathan Coult🍃er-Nile, their prized purchase in the auction.
In his very first appearance, he made an impact by removing Suresh Raina and Shanไe Watson in his first over of the tournament.
After being hit for six runs in the first four deliveries, which included a boundar🍃y and a couple of s﷽ingles, Steyn removed Watson and Raina out of the equation.
Against all the odds, RCB went on to win the match at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, as CSK failed to chase the target, falling just one short of the ♒total. This match is also renowned for MS Dhoni’s efforts (84* off 48) in a losing cause.
