Dale Steyn Urges Kartik Tyagi To Find His Own Bowling Action

The remarks followed a costly first outing for Kolkata in which he gave up 43 runs in four overs.

Overview

  • Steyn, who posted on X on Sunday, said Tyagi keeps changing and copying actions and needs a repeatable style he trusts.
  • The critique came after Tyagi’s four overs for KKR against Mumbai Indians went for 43 runs with the lone wicket of Suryakumar Yadav.
  • Kolkata used the 25-year-old as an Impact Player, a mid-game substitute slot, to cover injured pace options.
  • Tyagi’s IPL progress has stalled with injuries and sparse game time, including going unsold in 2025 before KKR signed him for Rs 30 lakh this season.
  • The argument over emulation versus developing a stable, personal action now shapes how KKR may coach and back him heading into the next match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
