1st Test - Australia v South Africa: Day 2
Dale Steyn has had his share of injuries in the recent past

One of the most fearsome fast bowlers of the modern day, Dale Steyn, like a few other pacers, has had his share of injuries in the recent times. Having severely fractured his shoulder during his last outing for South Africa in November 2016, Steyn has struggled for fitness. An ageing body – he turned 34 last June – has also gone against him, and it was an illness that kept him out of the Zimbabwe Test match.

With 417 Test wickets against his name at a staggering average of 22, Steyn remains dangerous provided he is able to stay fit. The short ball and the bouncer will come into good effect with the Indian batsmen known to falter against those deliveries.
