New Delhi: In the T20 World Cup 2026, a match was played between Nepal and England at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, which won the hearts of the whole world. Although Nepal lost the match by just 4 runs, their fighting performance so impressed Dale Steyn, the great South African fast bowler and once world No. 1 bowler, that he publicly offered to coach the Nepal team.

Dale Steyn’s open offer

Dale Steyn could not stop himself after seeing Nepal’s fearless performance against a giant team like England. Praising Nepal Cricket on social media, he wrote, ‘Nepal, if you ever need me, I am ready to offer my services! Just keep moving forward and up!’ This offer from Steyn, one of the most lethal bowlers in the world, has created a wave of enthusiasm in the Nepalese cricket world. Nepal’s fast bowler Nandan Yadav, reacting to this, said that it is a big thing for us that the player who ruled cricket for 10 years is tweeting about us.

Great spell by Nandan Yadav

Nandan Yadav bowled excellently for Nepal in the match. He sent two of England’s most dangerous batsmen, captain Jos Buttler and Harry Brook, to the pavilion by giving only 25 runs in his 3 over spell. Thanks to Nandan’s sharp bowling, Nepal restricted England to the score of 184/7, while at one time it seemed that the British would cross 200. Nandan attributed its success to the team’s unity and strategy of playing fearlessly.

Nepal’s war in Wankhede

Chasing the target of 185 runs, Nepal never gave up. Kushal Bhurtel gave a stormy start to the team, after which the partnership between captain Rohit Paudel and Deependra Singh Airy created panic in the England camp. The excitement continued till the last ball of the match. Nepal needed 10 runs to win in the last over and the entire Wankhede Stadium was echoing with slogans of Nepal-Nepal. However, Sam Curran showed wisdom in the last over and Nepal remained just 4 runs away from the target.

Will Steyn become Nepal’s mentor?

After this proposal of Dale Steyn, now all eyes are on Nepal Cricket Association (CAN). When Nandan Yadav was asked whether he would contact Steyn, he said that it would be entirely a management decision. At present, this defeat of Nepal is also being seen as a big victory in the cricket world, because they had brought former champion England to the brink of defeat. The association with a legend like Steyn can open doors to the future for an emerging cricketing nation like Nepal.
