IPL 2016: 5 players on the bench who could be superstars in other teams

5) Dale Steyn

Steyn hasn’t been able to break into the Lions team

Arguably the best bowler of this generation, Dale Steyn still has to face a bit of criticism for his T20 performances. But not many know of the stats Steyn has in T20s, in 166 Twenty20 games, he has picked up 178 wickets at an exceptional economy rate of 6.68.

He is a match winner in any format he plays and not many bowlers can match the skill set he possesses.

Picked up by the Gujarat Lions, he has warmed the bench for most of the tournament. With Gujarat preferring to pick only batsmen and allrounders as their overseas’ picks, Steyn has been unlucky to miss out on game time this IPL.

Steyn could have set the stage on fire had he been picked by RCB or the Kings XI Punjab who are light in the bowling department.
