Dale Steyn needs no introduction to the game of cricket. He was one of the most lethal fast bowlers of his time, and a number of batsmen have picked him as one of the toughest bowlers to face in their careers. Steyn has achieved immense success in his career.
He was undoubtedly one of the best bowlers that the game has ever seen. He was known for his lethal pace and swing at the same time, and he has tasted success against almost every opposition he has faced in his career. Despite achieving so much in his career, is there anything that Steyn wants to do in his cricket career?
The former South African pacer recently opened up in an interview with ESPN Cricinfo and revealed his desire at the final stage of his career. He revealed that he wanted to play for the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL.

And the reason he described that he wanted to play in the CSK was because he wanted to be part of the team that MS Dhoni is leading. Steyn also wanted to experience how Dhoni leads his troops.
Well, it is not a new thing, as a number of current and former cricketers have revealed that they wanted to play under MS Dhoni because of the way he led his team. Dhoni is one of the most successful captains of all time, both at the international level and in the IPL.
He is the only captain to lead a team to win the T20 World Cup, the ODI World Cup, and the Champions Trophy. In the IPL, he has led his franchise to five titles. Over the years, both Dhoni and Steyn have crossed paths with each other a number of times but never got a chance to play on the same team. Steyn played in the IPL for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Deccan Chargers, and Sunrisers Hyderabad in his career.
