#5 Dale Steyn (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Dale Steyn - the back of the South African bowling attack in the 2010s - happens to be one of the most respected fast bowlers in the history of IPL. Until this date, Steyn has been a part of 92 IPL matches. From these games, the paceman has managed to grab 96 wickets at an average of 24.73, a strike-rate of 21.93, and an economy rate of 6.76. The numbers say a lot about Steyn's stature.

Steyn seemed to be in good touch in IPL 2019. However, owing to a shoulder injury, he was ruled out of IPL 2019 and managed to play just two games in IPL-12. Interestingly, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) signed Steyn as a replacement for the injured Nathan Coulter-Nile. Having released him after 2019 IPL Auction, RCB bought him back at the 2020 IPL Auction.

Steyn has been amidst a lot of injuries, and much like Malinga, the approaching season of IPL might as well be Dale Steyn's farewell season.
