Dale Steyn has been getting smacked in the death overs on a regular basis since his comeback. So it's only fitting that RCB sign him.

Certain fans are assuming that Steyn might be included in place of Australian Nathan Coulter-Nile, who is yet to play a game for RCB this season.
Dale Steyn played for RCB from 2008 to 2010 before joining the now-defunct Deccan Chargers in 2011.Â
He has also played for SunRisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Lions in the IPL.
As far as RCB are concerned, they slumped to a record-equalling sixth straight defeat in IPL when they lost by four wickets against Delhi Capitals on Sunday.Â
RCB now share the dubious record of a team's worst IPL start along with Delhi Capitals (previously Delhi Daredevils), who suffered six losses in a row in 2013.
Kohli has been leading the team for past six seasons but the star-studded unit has massively underachieved.
RCB, who are yet to win an IPL title, ended the last two IPL seasons in sixth and eighth spot.
