Dale Steyn was bought into the RCB squad as a replacement after Australian pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile couldn’t join the team due to injury.

Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Chennai Super Kings by just 1 run in a tightly fought match. CSK skipper MS Dhoni tried his best to take his team to the finishing line but lost the game on the last ball of the match. Dhoni scored an unbeaten 84 off 48 balls including seven sixes five boundaries.

Kohli told Steyn while speaking to him in a post-match interaction said, “We have won three of the last four and that feels great. Feels amazing to be able to celebrate again with Dale Steyn. I never thought this would be possible after we parted ways in 2010.”

Steyn responded to Kohli’s gesture and said, “It feels fantastic to be back with RCB and the social media posts bring back lots of memories and makes me nostalgic. It also shows how well you’ve done. This man (Kohli) has gone on taken and taken the world by storm and is one of the best players if not the best in the world.”

Royal Challengers Bangalore are currently sitting at the bottom of the table with six points to their name. RCB will host Kings XI Punjab at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 24.
