Bumrah's inability to be incisive throughout the tournament, coupled with the poor form of key batters, meant that the Mumbai Indians finished ninth on the points table in IPL 2026, avoiding the wooden spoon only on net run rate.
Steyn was speaking on the YouTube channel of his good friend and former teammate AB de Villiers. He said that a bowler of Jasprit Bumrah's calibre would not find it hard to bounce back from this setback.
“He won a World Cup just a month and a half, two months ago, you know, and he was probably one of the bowlers of the tournament, you know. So no, you can't focus on him primarily. He had a bad tournament. There have been good batters at this IPL that haven't hit the ground running. Okay. So it shows that he's human. He'll come back strong and next season he'll probably win the Purple Cap next season, you know," Steyn said.
"He's the best bowler in the world" - AB de Villiers
In the same discussion, AB de Villiers, too, went on to hail Jasprit Bumrah as one of the best bowlers in the world. He said that Bumrah would definitely come back stronger from whatever had 'plagued' him this year.
