Dale Steyn confirmed he would not return as Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowling coach for the upcoming IPL season but would continue coaching Sunrisers Eastern Cape in SA20.

Former South African fast bowler Dale Steyn has confirmed that he will not return as the bowling coach for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the upcoming IPL season. However, Steyn will continue his coaching role with Sunrisers Eastern Cape in South Africa’s SA20 league.

Earlier this year, Steyn stepped away from IPL 2024 for personal reasons, leading Sunrisers Hyderabad to appoint former New Zealand cricketer James Franklin as their new bowling coach. Franklin works alongside head coach Daniel Vettori. Steyn made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter), where he expressed gratitude to Sunrisers Hyderabad and revealed his continued association with their sister franchise, Sunrisers Eastern Cape.

In his tweet, Steyn said, “A big thank you to Sunrisers Hyderabad for my few years with them as bowling coach at the IPL. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning for IPL 2025. However, I will continue to work with Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the SA20 here in South Africa.” He also expressed excitement about the upcoming SA20 season, stating, “Two-time winners here in SA20, let’s try to make it THREE in a row.”

Steyn’s IPL Career

During his IPL career, the 41-year-old pacer played for teams like Deccan Chargers, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Lions. Steyn’s last IPL appearance as a player came with RCB in 2020 before he transitioned to coaching with Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2022.

Under the Vettori-Franklin partnership, SRH reached the IPL 2024 final, where they were defeated by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). It marked their first final appearance since 2018, and the franchise may choose to retain this successful coaching setup for the next season.
