Dale Steyn said on Star Sports after the match, ‘As soon as Kagiso Rabada bowled that no ball on the last ball of his over, I was like, ‘Please don’t let this happen’. Because you don’t know what a player like Sanju will do, especially when he has that form and confidence. I saw him in the IPL, his ability to put bowlers down and hit boundaries, especially in the last 2 overs of the game, is unbelievable.
He further said, ‘Shamsi was going to bowl the last over and Samson knew that he was having a bad day. I was nervous when Rabada bowled the no ball. Because Sanju is a player who has the potential of Yuvi, who can hit those six sixes and when he needs 30+. That way he can win the team.
