Batsmen are free from fear now!!
What a true champion of his time, was. On the flattest of wickets, making the ball do things and one of the most feared fast bowlers of his time. Happy Retirement

We will miss this aggressive bowler in the SA Test team!!
He is surely one of the best i have watched. The pace at which he swung the ball made him unplayable. At his peak to see him run in was a terryfying sight as an Indian supporter. You knew an edge was round the corner or the stump might go for a walk. Well bowled

Too many memories to mention! We started together many years back and I had the privilege and front row seats of watching turn into the best bowler of his time. You are the greatest, an even better…
— AB de Villiers (@ABdeVilliers17)
Exactly!!
Wishing you all the very best for the future . You always challenged batsmen to bring their A-game to the ground.
— Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt)
It’s been a joy to watch you bowl and play against you.
Whenever Steyn bowls, there was a fear in batsmen's eyes!!
. at his best was like a horror show and to face him quality couldn't be compromised! Good luck for the future champion.

Take a bow, Legend!
One of the greatest of all time says goodbye to test cricket, a form of the game he adorned and enriched. He was one of the great sights of our game, gliding in, swinging the ball at speed. He has a place in history.
