Ex-South Africa pacer Dale Steyn praised RR's Tushar Deshpande for his "exceptional" bowling in final over against GT in IPL 2026, in which he claimed 1-4. "Tushar bowled four inch-perfect yorkers, then he changed his line and delivered the length ball, and by doing that, he baited Rashid Khan into hitting a big shot...Wonderful display of game sense," he stated.
