Dale Steyn is making the most of his time in India exploring Kerala and clicking selfies with fans.
South African bowling legend Dale Steyn was spotted clicking pictures with fans at a mall in Kerala. The former South African international is currently in India for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
Steyan is widely regarded as one of the finest fast bowlers to have played the game.
He was known for his fierce look, throbbing veins, chainsaw celebration and his boundless skill with the cricket ball. The bowler is now enjoying a more relaxed life since his retirement from all forms of cricket.

In a now-viral video, Steyn can be seen finishing his Subway meal before he gets crowded by several fans.
Despite the chaos, the South African great looked to be all smiles as he took some time out to snap selfies with them.
Several fans have reacted to the video pouring down their love for the former cricketer.
One of the fans found it hilarious that the locals were initially unable to recognise the iconic cricketer. He commented, “Random Malayalis watching reels without identifying the greatest ever gun of world cricket sitting next to them.”
Another one wrote, “My favourite fast bowler”.
One fan didn’t hesitate to address the cricketer at the greatest of all time in the comments. He replied, “The goat is in Kerala”.
A fourth said that the bowler was his inspiration. “Steyn gun, my inspiration”, he commented.
Steyn is currently in Trivandrum.
Meanwhile, South Africa are in Delhi where they will play their first match of the world cup on October 7.
Steyn has been invited to the ICC Cricket World Cup as a part of the commentary panel of the official broadcaster.
He seems to be making the most of his visit to India, posting about his travel on Instagram.
He recently uploaded a video of himself exploring the beautiful beaches and the streets in Trivandrum.
In his caption, Steyn wrote, “Rain. India. People. Kindness. Salute.”
Steyn has also predicted his two finalists for this edition of the World Cup. While the cricketer wants South Africa to play India in the final, the realist in him sees India and England make it to the last stage of the competition.
Steyn had the ability to swing the ball both ways while bowling at incredibly high speeds.
He broke the 150 kmph barrier regularly without having to compromise on the ball’s accuracy. His steaming run-up amplified by his aerodynamic action made him a formidable outswinger. In his career, the Steyn scalped 439 Test and 196 ODI wickets.
