First Choice - Dale Steyn

Other Options - Chris Morris, Kane Richardson, and Navdeep Saini

Though Dale Steyn has gone past his prime, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) might still bank on him to bowl the super over when required. The South African fast bowler has an economy rate of under 7 in his IPL career even when he bowls the most difficult overs for his team - in the powerplay and at the death. The 36-year old is in decent touch in the ongoing Big Bash League where his experience turned out to be valuable for Melbourne Stars.

The other options for RCB are Chris Morris, Kane Richardson, and Navdeep Saini. Chris Morris is a no-brainer as he has bowled at the death all his life for his country and various franchises around the globe.

Kane Richardson has hit a purple patch recently and has been the most successful bowler for Melbourne Renegades in the ongoing edition of BBL, post which he got a national call-up for the India ODI series.

Navdeep Saini is on a steep rise in his career and has adapted to the limited-overs set-up quite well from being a specialist red-ball bowler. The yorkers that he bowls clicking high 140s can be worth for RCB to use him in case of a super over.
