IPL 2020: 3 overseas players Kolkata Knight Riders could target at the auction

#2 Dale Steyn

Dale Steyn

KKR lacked a pacer with international experience to guide the young Indian fast bowlers in the 2019 season of the IPL. Dale Steyn can be a perfect candidate to take up that role.

Steyn has considerable experience of playing in India, and especially in the IPL. In 92 games, the pacer has bagged 96 wickets at an impressive average of 24.74 and an economy of 6.77.

The 36-year-old retired from Test cricket in August 2019, and is looking to extend his career in limited overs cricket.

Harry Gurney did not taste much success in the last edition of the IPL, and a bowler of the caliber and experience of Steyn will certainly strengthen the KKR outfit. Steyn still has the pace that made him such a feared bowler across formats, and that helps him get wickets with both the new ball and the old ball.
