So Dale Steyn came into the Royal Challengers Bangalore side as a replacement player, played two games, bowled well, picked up 4 wickets, and missed the remaining season due to injury and gets released for the next season. In a bizarre move, RCB released South Africa speedster, Dale Steyn.

Steyn is unarguably the greatest fast bowler of our times and his IPL record is pretty impressive too. Steyn has 96 wickets to his name in 92 games. But the most staggering part of his IPL record is his stunning economy of 6.76. Steyn has been one of the most dreaded fast bowlers in IPL history.

Unfortunately, the quick bowler hasn't been able to play more matches due to injuries and workload management but now that he has retired from Test cricket and is not a regular in the South African T20 and ODI side, Steyn could have been a useful bowler. RCB certainly missed a trick here.
