He's a legend - Bavuma─── MORGAN PIEK 08:05 Thu, 02 Sep 2021
The Proteas captain, Temba Bavuma, has described the now retired fast bowler, Dale Steyn, as a legend and one of the greatest of all time.
This comes after Steyn retired from all forms of cricket earlier in the week following an international career that spanned 18 years.
On the eve of the 1st One-Day International between Sri Lanka and the Proteas in Colombo, Bavuma paid homage to the Phalaborwa Express.
“I had the pleasure of playing with Dale and when I joined the team, he was one of the senior players.
“He was one of the guys who welcomed me and made me feel a part and that I belonged in the team.
“His achievements and statistics obviously speak for themselves. He's a legend. A GOAT as the guys would call him.
“I obviously wish him well in his future endeavours.
“He's definitely had an impact and played a role for us younger guys who have come into the team.”
Thursday's ODI gets underway at 11:30.
