'There's A Genuine Fear Among Batters': Steyn On Pacers Dominating IPL 2026
Former South African: Former South African bowler Dale Steyn believes the ongoing season IPL season has tilted in favour of fast bowlers, pointing out that batters are facing a genuine fear because of technical changes and execution from the seamers.
Observing the impact of premier quicks like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Kagiso Rabada, and Jofra Archer, who are dominating the season with wickets and test-match-length bowling, Steyn said their consistency in hitting the right areas has left batters short of answers.
"Watching Bhuvi, Hazlewood, throw KG and Archer in there too, there’s a genuine fear from batters. Not because they’re scared, but they know exactly where these greats are going to bowl and don’t practice enough in that area to have answers," Steyn wrote in a post on X.
