At a time when teams are consistently scoring over 200 runs in T20 cricket, it has become incredibly difficult to be a successful bowler. Teams like Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders have arguably produced their best batting performances of the season, keeping scores well above the 200-run mark. Looking at another such outing for SRH in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Delhi Capitals, the South Africa legend said that if there was ever a time when he would like to be a bowler, it is today.
Although the last few weeks have been disappointing for some bowlers due to the poor performance of the batsmen in the IPL, Steyn said that in today’s time a good bowler would be considered ‘God’.
“I can joke and say I’m glad I’m retired and not bowling anymore, but… it’s always a good time to be a bowler, if you want to be the best you can be.” If you can create it, you will become a desired god.” “Among mere mortals, there was never a greater murderer of insensitive runes!”, he posted on X (formerly Twitter).
I could joke and say I’m glad I’m retired and won’t bowl anymore, but…
It’s always a good time to be a bowler, if you can make yourself the best, you will become a wanted god among ordinary mortals.
Furious race killer!
The insensitive have never been high. I want to be one…– Dale Steyn (@DaleSteyn62) 20 April 2024
“Just make it shorter and say, “Be Jasprit Bumrah!”,” said a fan reacting to Steyn’s post. The South African legend had no hesitation in admitting that Bumrah is one bowler who is dominating the proceedings despite the heavy tilt in favor of the batsmen.
“Well, exactly that,” Stan replied to the fan.
Well, exactly like that

Currently, Bumrah is the Purple Cap holder, he has taken 13 wickets in 7 matches at an average of 12.84 and economy rate of 5.96. At a time when bowlers are regularly conceding more than 10 runs per over, Bumrah still remains the worst in terms of leaking runs.
