DELHI - Fast bowler Dale Steyn’s availability for South Africa’s fourth and final Test against India in Delhi remains in doubt.Steyn, who has missed the last two Tests due to a groin injury, will undergo a fitness Test on Tuesday to determine his availability for the final match of the series, which starts on Thursday. Kyle Abbott and Steyn's cover Merchant De Lange had an extended session at the nets ahead of the fourth and final Test.
Steyn, for the better part, was seated and did not take part in any training. In fact, he did not even wear the bowling spikes and was seen walking around in normal training shoes. It was learnt that he has undergone one round of fitness test today but the result was not known.
Steyn spent a lot of time with talented Delhi all-rounder Sarang Rawat, who made his first-class debut this season.
Sarang was one of the net bowlers.
"He gave me a lot of tips about wrist positioning and how I could improve my speed by strengthening the lower body. It was like a dream speaking to him," the 21-year-old Sarang told PTI.
As has been the case with Steyn's fitness update, the South African assistant coach Adrian Birrell also did not shed any light on the fast bowler's availability.
