Top 10 legendary players who never won World Cup and IPL titles
There are many legends of the game who are devoid of both the trophies yet.
10. Dale Steyn
Unlike many of his unfortunate South African colleagues, even Dale Steyn hasn’t been able to trounce the two apex trophies. The cricketer has been active in international cricket since the year 2004 and has played two ODI World Cups for SA so far (2011, 2015).
While the speedster had unfortunately missed the bus for the 2007 World Cup, in the 2011 edition he was captain Smith’s premier bowler who had bagged 12 wickets from his 6 games. However, despite his strenuous efforts, Proteas had lost an easy game in the quarter-finals against NZ. Nevertheless, in the 2015 World Cup, Steyn was then further closest to take SA into the finals, but the speedster was sadly unable to cease Kiwis from chasing the target.
Also with regards to the IPL, very early on Steyn had an opportunity to win the IPL both in the 2009 and 2010 seasons while playing for RCB. However later on while representing SRH in IPL 2013, the South African again could have gone close but the team eventually finished fourth in that season.
