Undoubtedly the most influential fast bowler of his generation, Dale Steyn might be playing his last ever World Cup in 2019. The protea legend has made a great comeback from his injury and seems to be quite fit to come charging in to send the batters backpacking.

In 121 ODI matches, Steyn has picked up 192 wickets at an impressive average of 25.7. He has maintained a healthy strike rate and an economy rate of 41.9 and 4.87 respectively. Although Steyn might have not played many 50-over games because of his focus on Test cricket, there are absolutely no doubts on his skills as a shorter format bowler.

The 35-year-old Steyn was heartbroken when Grant Elliot hit a six off him to take New Zealand to the World Cup finals. South Africa have never seen the lights of a world cup final, and this might be a great chance for a player like Steyn to be the difference between the sides and help Proteas clinch their maiden world cup.

Cricket fans all around the globe will be hoping for that classic Steyn celebration.
