Dale Steyn is Fit and Raring To Go

South Arican fast bowler is excited to return after a 3-month break and he will make his comeback in the Champions League T20 (CLT20) for the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

"There’s nothing better than a bit of game time," Steyn said in Johannesburg on Sunday. "Playing a Twenty20 game, you’re still out in the field on your feet. You’re still bowling your overs at high intensity.

"After the Champions Trophy in England, people will remember I didn’t play a lot of cricket there. I ended up with about five injuries walking away from that tournament. I had a side strain, groin, glute, neck and a bit of an ankle problem."

Dale Steyn is coming back from an injury, but he was conifident about his fitness and he beleives, he is back to his 100% fitness.

"The doctors said I had to be off my feet for the next four weeks. I had four weeks where I did absolutely nothing, where I did no running or gyming."

He has since then stepped up his training in anticipation of the Champions League T20, and South Africa’s series against Pakistan in the UAE in October. "I’ve had four weeks where I’ve been training really hard. I’ve got back to the gym, running and bowling.

"Two sessions a day for an hour and a half in the morning, then get back again in the afternoon. I haven’t been going to bed so early since I was in primary school, so it shows that I’ve been working quite hard."

Steyn will a major role for the Sunrisers in CLT20, as he will be the spearhead of their bowling unit.
