VIDEO: Dale Steyn Bowls ‘Unplayable’ Delivery in Comeback; Stuns Batsman and Crowd
Home > News Shots > Sports newsDale Steyn who made a comeback to international cricket after 'retiring' in 2019 showed why he is still one of the best during the first T20 International against England at the Buffalo Park in East London on Wednesday. An unplayable delivery from Steyn left everyone spellbound.
The feat happened during the fourth over of the England run chase. In the third delivery, Steyn bowled a ferocious slower ball as Jonny Bairstow just stood with no answer. Though Bairstow managed to defend it, he did appreciate the beauty of it. Bairstow brought his bat down in the nick of time and saved his wicket in the process. Steyn, Bairstow and the on-field umpire could be seen smiling over this incident.
''Slower ball. There's a smile from Bairstow and a smile from Steyn. Bairstow might have been thinking that is gonna be a beamer. He just drops the bat in time. Nicely bowled, good variation first up,'' ran the commentary.
