What Dale Steyn’s inclusion has done for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is that it has sharpened their bowling upfront. RCB had a lackluster bowling armoury and needed a leader badly. With Nathan Coulter-Nile unavailability, RCB roped in Steyn. And boy the pacer has been up to the mark thus far in two matches he has played. After picking two wickets against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Steyn started the match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a thumping fashion and picked two wickets in the opening over. Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Chennai Super Kings Scorecard.
