The South African speedster initially joked that he would roll the ball down the pitch because he would be too embarrassed to bowl another delivery if Rishabh reverse-scooped him for a six. But Steyn added that his second delivery would definitely be a short ball.
Rishabh Pant played two reverse-scoops during England’s India tour earlier this year. First, he played that shot off James Anderson’s bowling during the fourth Test of the series. Then, he reverse-scooped a delivery from Jofra Archer during the T20I series.
