Dale Willem Steyn (
Steyn dominated the number one spot in the ICC Test rankings at the peak of his career, for a record 263 weeks between 2008 and 2014.
On 5 August 2019, Steyn announced his retirement from Test cricket,
Early life and domestic career
Steyn was born in 1983 in the small town of Phalaborwa, on the border of the Kruger National Park in South Africa.[18] His family is from Zimbabwe.[19]
Steyn made his first-class debut for
Steyn went to England in 2005 to play for Essex, appearing in seven matches between May and June. He failed to make a big impact in his initial outing in County Championship cricket, taking 14 wickets at 59.85.[22] Following his work at Essex with world expert bowling coach Ian Pont Steyn returned to domestic cricket in South Africa, where he bowled excellently for the Titans through the 2005/2006 season which earned him a recall to the Test squad to face New Zealand.[23]
As a result of becoming a regular selection for the national team, Steyn subsequently played little domestic cricket in South Africa from then onwards, appearing for the Titans in just five
He had a second stint in England, playing for Warwickshire in the first half of the 2007 English season. This time around he had more success, claiming 23 County Championship wickets in seven matches at an average of 25.86.[22] He also played well in the Friends Provident Trophy, a 50-over tournament, finishing as the leading wicket-taker for Warwickshire. He has since become a regular in the South African One Day International team.
Franchise cricket
Steyn signed to play in the Indian Premier League in 2008, playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He earned US$325,000 for his appearance in the tournament.[24] He spent his first three seasons in the Indian Premier League with Royal Challengers Bangalore. For IPL 2011 he was bought by Deccan Chargers for $1.2 million.[25] After Deccan Chargers were terminated from the IPL he was drafted to Sunrisers Hyderabad where he played three seasons.
In the 2016 IPL auction, he was bought by Gujarat Lions for ₹ 22.3 million.[26] He could not participate in the 2017 IPL season after being released by Gujarat Lions prior to the season.[27] He went unsold at the 2018 and 2019 IPL auctions.[28][29] In mid-April 2019, Steyn joined Royal Challengers Bangalore for the 2019 IPL season as a replacement for the injured Nathan Coulter-Nile.[30]
In the 2020 IPL auction, he was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of the 2020 Indian Premier League.[31] He played three matches in the tournament, picking one wicket at an average of 133 and economy rate of 11.40.[32] He was released from the team after the season.[33]
In September 2019, he was named in the squad for the Cape Town Blitz team for the 2019 Mzansi Super League tournament.[34] In October 2019, Steyn signed to play in the Big Bash for the Melbourne Stars.[35] In December 2019, he was drafted by Pakistan Super League franchise Islamabad United as their first pick of the draft in the Platinum Category.[36]

He made his
Steyn's next international appearance was in the first Twenty20 International against the West Indies. He took the exceptional figures of 4/9 in three overs, with all four wickets being picture perfect yorkers, but was unable to stop the West Indies chasing down the target of 59 runs in a match reduced to 13 overs by rain.[61]
Steyn's form continued into the Test series. He had a fairly indifferent match in the first Test at
He played in the first three matches of the One Day International series, but could not match his Test success and was briefly dropped after failing to take a wicket and going for 62 runs in his ten overs during the third match at

Steyn featured in the final One Day International of the three match series, going wicketless but only giving away 19 runs in 8 overs.[70]
Coming into the three Test series against India predictions about how Steyn would fare were mixed, with some commentators identifying him a crucial part of a South African team which could pose a serious challenge to India,[71] whilst others predicted he might struggle playing against a strong batting lineup on lifeless subcontinent pitches.[72]

2012–2014: Rise to fame
....It is human nature to underrate the present and grossly overrate the past, but if you outlaw that trait, time has come to place Steyn among the greatest fast bowlers of the game.....
2013 article Hail Dale by Harsha Bhogle[81]
On 2 January 2013, Steyn bowled Doug Bracewell out in first session of the first test of the New Zealand tour to South Africa to take his 300 Test wickets in 61 matches.[82] He reached the landmark in 8 years and 16 days to become the second fastest South African bowler in terms of time taken after Shaun Pollock.[83]
On 3 February 2013, Steyn picked up his career best test figures at home of 6/8 as Pakistan were dismissed for their lowest ever test score of 49, this was also the third cheapest six-wicket haul in the test history. He later went on to pick five more wickets in the second innings and helped South Africa win the match by 211 runs taking a 1–0 lead in the three match test series and was named man of the match.[84][85]
Steyn played a cameo as himself in the 2014 romantic comedy Blended starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.[86]
2015–2021: Final years
Steyn took 3/78 in the first innings of the first Test of the South African tour in Bangladesh which was drawn due to stoppage by rain.[87] Steyn took 16,634 balls to take his 400 test wickets and became the fastest bowler to complete the feat in terms of balls bowled. He took the 400th wicket when Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal was caught at slip by Hashim Amla on the first day of the second Test against Bangladesh on 30 July 2015.[88][89] He completed the innings with figures of 3/30 while the second innings was washed out by heavy rain.[90]
Steyn was ruled out of the away Test series against Australia in 2016–17 after he broke his right shoulder bone in the first Test in Perth.[91]
....one could make a very strong case for Steyn being best fast bowler post the Second World War, especially when you consider the abundant advantages afforded to batsmen in recent times.....
2015 article Is Dale Steyn the greatest fast bowler post WWII? by Glenn Mitchell[92]
Recovering from surgery, he missed the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy but was named in the South Africa A squad for their tour of England a few months later.[93] However, he returned to competitive cricket in November 2017, a year after the injury, playing for the Titans at the Ram Slam T20 Challenge.[94] After 14 months of injury, Steyn played his first international Test match against India and picked up a wicket in just 14 balls.[95] However, on day two of the same Test, Steyn damaged his left heel. This ruled him out of the rest of the series, with a recovery time of 4 to 6 weeks.[96][97] Two days later, he was ruled out of the rest of the series.[98]
On 26 December 2018, he equaled Shaun Pollock's record as the highest wicket-taker in South African test history.[99] On 14 September, he was called back to the South African ODI squad after an absence of two years.[100] On 3 October, he scored his maiden half-century in ODI cricket against Zimbabwe in a 120 run victory.[101]
In December 2018, in the first session of the
In April 2019, he was named in South Africa's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[103][104] However, on 4 June 2019, Steyn was ruled out of the tournament due to an ongoing shoulder injury, and was replaced by Beuran Hendricks.[105] In August 2019, Steyn retired from Test cricket.[15]
On 31 August 2021, Steyn announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.[106][107]
