Cricket PlayersIPL 2019: Virat Kohli and Dale Steyn react to their throwback photo after close victory over Chennai Super Kings - Watch
Dale Steyn picked up the wickets of Shane Watson and Suresh Raina in two consecutive deliveries of the first over to get RCB off to a superb start against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.
The South African speedster Dale Steyn has transformed the bowling line-up of the Royal Challengers Bangalore since he has joined the set-up. RCB have clinched two consecutive victories, beating Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings. The Virat Kohli-led team clinched a thrilling one-run win over CSK in Bengaluru on Sunday.
Dale Steyn picked up the wickets of Shane Watson and Suresh Raina in two consecutive deliveries of the first over to get RCB off to a superb start. Eventually, Umesh Yadav managed to defend 26 runs in the last over as RCB kept their play-offs hopes alive.
After the match, Kohli and Steyn spoke about a split picture of them celebrating in 2010 and celebrating in the same manner in 2019.

“There is a little thing that came out on social media recently the ‘Ten-year challenge.’ I want everyone to have a look at this me and Dale Steyn on the left in 2010 and me and Dale Steyn on the left in 2019. Dale Steyn looks the same but on the left, you can see it’s a different human being on the left and on the right, it’s a different one. Feels amazing to celebrate with this man (Steyn) after ten years and we would never have thought after parting ways in 2010 that we will be doing the same thing at Chinnaswamy all over again,” said Kohli.
Steyn expressed that he was lucky to watch Kohli play as an 18-year-old in the RCB camp in 2010.
“That photo you are right, brings back some good memories, some nostalgic. It just shows how well you have done, this man (referring to Kohli) has gone on to take the world by a storm. One of the best players if not the best batsman in the world and I was lucky enough to watch him, in the beginning, meeting him as an 18-year-old and the man that stands in front of me now is an Indian captain so it’s an honour,” Steyn said.
