Royal Challengers Bangalore Pacer Dayle Steyn will remain unavailable the IPL 202. The South African pacer took to social media and informed the fans about the decision. Steyn further said that he will be playing in the other league and wishes to space out time which would give him an opportunity to do something that he has not done so far. We are sure that this piece of news would actually bring sadness to the fans of Virat Kohli's RCB. Steyn also mentioned that he has not retired from cricket. Dale Steyn All Set for International Comeback During South Africa vs England T20I Series, Eyes Place in ICC T20 World Cup 2020 Squad.

Surely the RCB will now have to look out for other bowling options in the team. IPL 2021  will be tentatively played between 11 April 2021 and 6 June 2021.
