  • Great to spend some time learning from Dale Steyn: Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder Marco Jansen

    By IANS

    NAVI MUMBAI: Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder Marco Jansen said spending time to learn from fellow South African and pace bowling coach Dale Steyn has been great for him in terms of learning.

    This is left-arm pacer Jansen’s first brush with the mega T20 league after making heads turn by picking 19 wickets in his debut Test series against India, followed by picking nine scalps in series against New Zealand.

    “Obviously it’s great to learn from him (Dale Steyn). As a youngster, I’ve come here to try and learn as much as possible from him because he knows the conditions quite well. He played here more than a few times, so great to spend some time with him and obviously been learning a lot,” said Jansen in pre-match chat with broadcasters Star Sports ahead of match against Gujarat Titans.

    Jansen admitted that he is yet to get used to the heat in India but has adjusted his bowling as per the conditions here. “For me personally the humidity, that quite gets to me. But otherwise, the pitch and conditions – it’s basically summing it up what the pitch requires from you as a bowler – whether it’s pace, bounce or seam movement. It was a bit challenging at the start but I’m getting used to it.”

    Jansen, who made his IPL debut in an eight-wicket win over Chennai and scalped the big wicket of MS Dhoni, signed off by saying that Hyderabad is looking to make improvements in every match. “After that win (against Chennai), everyone got quite good confidence out of it, we just take it game-by-game and just trying to improve every time we get an opportunity to do so.”

  • IPL 2022: Brian Lara, Dale Steyn part of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s revamped support staff

    By PTI

    NEW DELHI: Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday named West Indies batting legend Brian Lara and South African pace great Dale Steyn as part of their revamped support staff ahead of the 2022 IPL.

    Lara, who is usually seen commentating during the IPL, has taken up the coaching role at Sunrisers. He has been named strategic advisor and batting coach.

    The team made the announcement via social media.

    Steyn, who has played for multiple IPL teams in the past including Sunrisers, has been appointed the pace bowling coach.

    He had announced his retirement earlier this year.

    Sri Lankan great Muttiah Muralitharan remains the spin bowling coach.

    Moody returns as head coach after fellow Australian Trevor Bayliss quit following the 2021 season.

    Moody was Sunrisers’ director of cricket last season.

    Former India batter Hemang Badani has been named fielding coach while Simon Katich, who has been the head coach of RCB, has been appointed assistant coach.

    Sunrisers had retained three players including skipper Kane Wiliamson, uncapped Umran Malik and Abdul Samad ahead of the mega auction in February.

    The team finished last in the 2021 IPL.

  • How on earth does RCB always leave AB de Villiers to try and perform miracles, asks Dale Steyn

    By ANI

    NEW DELHI: Former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn has said he finds it difficult to understand why Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) leave AB de Villiers to do too much in the backend of Indian Premier League (IPL) matches.

    A spirited bowling performance saw Kane Williamson-led SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeat RCB by four runs at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Wednesday. Bhuvneshwar Kumar defended 13 off the final over against AB de Villiers to help his side register a thrilling victory.

    “I get they’ve qualified, but how on earth does RCB always leave AB to try and perform miracles,” tweeted Steyn. AB de Villiers walked out to bat in the 15th over of the innings and RCB still needed 50 runs to win off 35 balls. In the end, the Proteas batter remained unbeaten on 19 off 13 balls but he failed to take his side over the line.

    Earlier, Jason Roy played a knock of 44 runs as SRH posted a total of 141/7 in the allotted twenty overs. For RCB, Harshal Patel returned with the figures of 3-33.

    RCB will next take on Delhi Capitals on Friday at the Dubai International Stadium.
