Dale Steyn is arguably one of the greatest pacers to have graced the game. And the Proteas bowling line-up clearly missed the services of the legendary pacer in the 2nd T20I against India. The Virat Kohli-led side demolished the visitors to all the parts of the ground and clinched a comfortable victory by seven wickets. However, Steyn took to Twitter and presented a piece of advice for the South African bowlers. The 36-year-old recommended his fellow countrymen to focus on line and length along with pace, and bounce back in the next game. The bowler also suggested Kagiso Rabada and Co. that they learn the lesson they got from the Indian batsmen.  South Africa Vs India, Highlights And Cricket Score 2nd T20I Match.
