Dale Steyn has been the talk of the town in the last couple of days. Ever since Royal Challengers Bangalore bought him, Dale Steyn is making the headlines in the cricketing world. Following his inclusion in the RCB side, Steyn organised a question and answer session with the fans on Twitter, where he answered quite a few interesting topics.

During the session, Dale Steyn was asked to name his favourite batsmen in the world cricket. Answering to query, Dale Steyn picked the current wicketkeeper-batsman of South Africa Quinton de Kock, the former skipper AB de Villiers and the skipper of the Indian National Cricket Team Virat Kohli as his three favourite batsmen in the world cricket at the moment.

Virat Kohli is one of the favourite batsmen of Dale Steyn:

Dale Steyn has a great rapport with all the three batsmen, having played together for quite a period of time. Under AB de Villiers, Dale Steyn hit his top form to become a modern great in the world cricket. He also looked the rise of Quinton de Kock closely and developed great rapport with Virat Kohli through Indian Premier League.

Dale Steyn was bought right at the end of Thursday???s IPL auction, after going unsold twice, but he was ???always part of Royal Challengers Bangalore???s plans???, according to Mike Hesson, their director of cricket. Steyn was picked at his base price of INR 2 crore by the same franchise that had released him in November.

Dale Steyn featured in just two games for RCB in 2019 before a shoulder injury cut his season short after he had been signed midway through the competition as a replacement for the injured Nathan Coulter-Nile. Recently, he signed a contract for Melbourne Stars in Big Bash League, but unfortunately ruled out of side strain

Dale Steyn was a smart grab from the Royal Challengers Bangalore during the auction. They also bagged Isuru Udana for his base price. However, they also made a few big purchases in the name of Aaron Finch and Chris Morris.
