Steyn has picked the top 5 bowlers who could wreak havoc on the batters in the World Cup.
Cricket aficionados from around the world are brimming with anticipation as the 2023 ICC Men's ODI World Cup approaches. There are only a few days left until the grand tournament begins, and all eyes are on the ten formidable teams that will compete for ultimate glory.
India, the hosts and No. 1 ODI team in the world, is a natural contender for the coveted title. However, they face fierce competition from a number of cricketing powerhouses, such as the defending champions England, the five-time champions Australia, and the ever-threatening Pakistan.
Cricket, which is frequently referred to as a batter's paradise, tends to favor big batters. Despite these preconceived conceptions, a select group of bowlers have defied the odds and wreaked havoc on batters with their unparalleled bowling ability. Recently, former South African speedster Dale Steyn selected his top five speedy players poised to make an impact at the ICC World Cup in 2023.
Here are list Dale Steyn's top five fast bowling picks:
Steyn has selected the best five bowlers who can cause havoc for batters in the World Cup. The first player on his list is the India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj, whose performance in the Asia Cup 2023 final against Sri Lanka captivated the cricketing globe.
The second is South African prodigy Kagiso Rabada, who is on Steyn's list due to his blistering pace and deft variations. Third up is the Pakistani speedster Shaheen Shah Afridi, who has made it plain that his sole mission is to disrupt the top-order batsmen and exert constant pressure.
Trent Boult, the New Zealand pacer known for wreaking havoc on the Indian top order during the 2019 World Cup Semi-Final, earned a spot in Steyn's lineup, and the final spot is filled by Mark Wood, the English sensation who strikes fear into batsmen's hearts with his blistering pace and impeccable line and length.
