Early Life

DW Steyn was born on 27th June 1983 in Phalaborwa, Transvaal Province, South Africa as Dale Willem Steyn.

in 2004.

Career

He started his career on the national side in 2004 making his Test debut against England. He went for an impressive inning in the match with his raw pace and stamina after just playing 7 first-class matches but failed out to make a significant impact and got dropped down from the team after 8 wickets in the 3 Test series. He got his comeback opportunity in 2006 for the home series against New Zealand where he picked up 16 wickets in 3 Test matches and tormented Kiwis. In 2007, he felt being sidelined due to his intensity not up to the mark off a fast bowler but he managed to bring out his new version in his second coming against Pakistan. He took 9 wickets of Pakistan and 10 in subsequent match against New Zealand thus nailing his spot in the side. Next year marked his success in figures with scarcely believable 86 wickets in just 14 games in 2008 thus receiving the ICC Player of the Year.

In 2012, he helped the team to win the Test championship with England and getting placed on the fourth position in South Africa after Pollock, Donald and Ntini to reach the 300 wicket mark as the fastest one.

In November 2015, he again suffered from groin strain missing his Test against India followed by rest four-match series. He came back against England but again got a shoulder injury which led his 2015-16 season missing all his ODIs and six Test matches.
