Cricket Legends Reunite: Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers Discuss Life Beyond the Pitch
Dale Steyn: Hey AB, long time no see! How’s retirement treating you, mate?
AB de Villiers: Dale! Great to catch up. Retirement’s been surprisingly busy! Between family, coaching stints, and the occasional round of golf, I’ve been keeping myself occupied. How about you? Still rocking those surfboards?
Dale Steyn: You bet! Surfing’s been my second life after cricket. The ocean’s a different kind of thrill compared to facing down a batsman, but it’s equally addictive. Speaking of which, any chance we’ll see you back on the field, maybe in some T20 leagues?
AB de Villiers: Haha, never say never, right? I’ve had a few offers, and you know how tempting it is to grab the bat again. But for now, I’m enjoying watching the youngsters shine. Have you been mentoring any budding fast bowlers lately?
Dale Steyn: Definitely. I’ve been working with some brilliant young talents in South Africa. It’s incredible to see their passion and hunger for the game. Plus, it’s a nice way to pass on some of the tricks of the trade. Who knows, we might just churn out the next Kagiso Rabada!
AB de Villiers: That would be something! The future of South African cricket looks bright with minds like yours shaping it. By the way, have you picked up any new hobbies or skills during the lockdown?
Dale Steyn: Apart from perfecting my barbecue skills? Haha! I’ve actually gotten into photography. Capturing the perfect wave or a sunset is almost as satisfying as taking a wicket. It’s a creative outlet I’ve really come to love.
AB de Villiers: That’s awesome! We’ll have to hit the waves and go on a photo shoot sometime. Maybe even a road trip around South Africa for old times’ sake. Imagine the stories we’d gather!
Dale Steyn: Count me in! Let’s make it happen, AB. It’s always a blast catching up, whether we’re reminiscing about old tours or planning new adventures.
AB de Villiers: Absolutely. Cheers to more unforgettable memories, on and off the field. Until next time, Steyn Gun!
Dale Steyn: Cheers, Mr. 360! Take care, and see you soon.
