The RCB have always been a batting-heavy side who have lacked penetration in their bowling attack. This has brought about their downfall and the team has not ended up on the winning side despite posting 200-plus totals on many occasions.

Presently, the men in red and black are lacking experience in their fast-bowling department. Although they have retained Tim Southee and Nathan Coulter-Nile, none of them have substantial experience of playing in the IPL. Steyn's inclusion will make their bowling attack look robust.

Steyn has not played IPL for a while with his last appearance coming for the Gujarat Lions in the 2016 edition of the IPL. He has picked 92 wickets from 90 matches at an economy of 6.25 in his IPL career. Dale Steyn has already played for the RCB in the first three editions of the IPL and the return to his old home would be more than welcome.
