Former South Africa: Former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn has revealed his top five Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) bowlers of all time in the Indian Premier League (IPL), placing leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal at the top of the list.

Steyn, known for his sharp insights on the game, ranked former India captain Anil Kumble at No.5, praising the legendary spinner’s effectiveness at the batting-friendly M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Kumble was the captain of RCB from 2009 to 2010. He played 51 matches for the team and took 51 wickets at an average of 24.58.

"At No.5, I’ve got Anil Kumble. Just as a spinner, bowling a lot at Chinnaswamy to do as well as he has, he makes my top five," Steyn told ESPNcricinfo.
