In a major blow to Team South Africa in the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2019, their speedster Dale Steyn has been ruled out of the marquee event. South Africa have started this tournament with two losses, with defeats to England and Bangladesh in their opening fixtures. While he didn’t blame IPL but Du Plessis was thinking aloud what if Steyn wasn’t picked by the RCB as late replacement. The news is a serious blow to South Africa, whose campaign has also been hit by injuries to two other fast bowlers. Lungi Ngidi has also since picked up a hamstring strain, which is likely to keep him out of the next few South Africa matches.
