Shikhar Dhawan greets Dale Steyn on his 34th birthday

South African speedster Dale Steyn turns a year older today on 27^th June, as the bowler celebrates his 34^th birthday. The fiery pacer with an on point accuracy is arguably the best bowler to have stepped onto the field in the Protea colours. With red-hot pace, a steaming run up and a destructive attitude Dale Steyn has been a phantasm for the greatest of batsmen.

The main story:

On occasion of his 34^th birthday, his Sunrisers Hyderabad team mate Shikhar Dhawan took to Twitter to congratulate the bowler who is famous for his chainsaw celebration. Shikhar Dhawan who has been in tremendous form at the moment wished the South African and hoped for the bowler to have a nice time ahead. Dhawan’s tweet read “Happy birthday bro. @DaleSteyn62  Have a wonderful year ahead…. Masterji, pitaaji ki patloon ek blaan choti kardo”.

Shikhar Dhawan is currently in the Caribbean in the middle of a 5 match ODI series against the West Indies. The batsman continued his blistering form from the Champions Trophy and is turning out to be a pillar for Virat Kohli and his men up the order.

Dale Steyn has been a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad from the year of 2013 to 2016. Steyn was bought by the Deccan Chargers and he was later retained by the Sunrisers Hyderabad for a whopping 9.5 crores. The bowler had a decent IPL journey where he represented the orange army in 37 matches picking up 33 wickets. Steyn later moved on to represent the Gujarat Lions in the 9^th edition of the Indian Premier League but had to pull off after playing just one match falling victim to injury.

Shikhar Dhawan’s tweet was one of the million wishes the ‘Steyn Gun’ received on his birthday. Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag also wished the man in his own style previously.
