Top 10 signings of IPL 2016

Dale Steyn to Gujarat Lions

He might not be in the best of form, but it doesn’t change the fact that he is one of the best bowlers in the world of cricket. Indeed, he is one of the very few who can boast about being able to defend 7 runs in the final over of a T20I World Cup match.

The Gujarat Lions spent a whopping Rs. 2.3 crores to acquire his signature and we all know why.

He has a great history in IPL with both Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad. The only player who could say that completely got the better of the South African would be his countryman, AB de Villiers.

Indeed, it was AB de Villiers who showed the world how to unleash fury on a bowler of his calibre and Steyn’s form has somewhat fallen from then, but he still remains one of the few bowlers who can change the course of a game.
