Jonny Bairstow [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jonny-bairstow/] fell victim to a Dale Steyn strategical slower delivery. This took place during the first match of the T20I series between England and South Africa, there was a showcase of pure cunning strategy at Buffalo Park. As of now, Dale Steyn is South Africa’s #1 wicket-taker. To a lot of his fans, this is not even coming as a surprise! WHAT DID DALE STEYN DO? The South Africa fast-bowler had the task of conducting the 3rd over. It was during the third delivery that Steyn decided to release an unusual delivery. The ball soared above the eyeline of the batsman and was initially thought of being a beamer. Finally, it was declared to be a slower delivery which reached the batsman at 117kmph. The recipient of this slow delivery was Bairstow. He was definitely taken aback by this throw. Nevertheless, the two players soon exchanged smiles right after to assure the audience that all was well. Even though both the teams performed astonishingly well, it was South African bowler Lungi Ngidi who gave a terrific performance. His death over bowling skills truly helped in defending the last 7 runs of the match. Related: T20I: England Vs South Africa Started Off with Utmost Thrill [https://www.essentiallysports.com/t20i-england-vs-south-africa/] The match was a nail-biter as Jason Roy scored 70 runs off 38 balls. He was clearly the best batsman of the match. He managed to score three sixes and seven fours. A number of fans expected England to win the 1st match. It did seem possible until the team suffered a loss of 5 wickets within the last 24 runs. South Africa scored 177 for 8 wickets in 20 overs. The opening pair for this match was Tamba Bavuma and Quinton de Kock. Quinton scored the highest at the T20I for the South African team with 43 runs from 27 balls. His contribution included a total of five fours. THE PITCH Considering it was Buffalo Park [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Park], the most common occurrence is that the chasing team wins. That is what was expected from this T20I match as well. However, we all know that one can never be too sure about sports predictions. South Africa winning even after they had to bat first is one of the reasons why it is said: “Anything is Possible”. 

Dale Steyn delivered a cunningly slow ball at T20I. The recipient of this
delivery was Jonny Bairstow who was rather perplexed by this.

<strong>Jonathan Marc Bairstow</strong> (or Jonny Bairstow) could have chosen Rugby or Football for a professional career, but chose to become a cricketer.

Born on September 26 1989 in Bradford, Bairstow first played County cricket for Yorkshire before making his international debut in 2011 in a T20 game against West Indies. He broke into the One Day side in the same year and a year later, made his Test debut.

The year 2016 could be named as the year of Bairstow. In 2016, Bairstow set a new record for the most dismissals (70) by a wicket-keeper in a calendar year. In the same year, Bairstow also set a record for most runs in Test matches by a wicket-keeper in a single year. By scoring 1,470 runs in Tests in the year, Bairstow almost doubled the previous record of 777 for England wicket-keepers set by Matt Prior in 2012, and comprehensively surpassed the former record for any Test country of 1,045 runs, held by former Zimbabwe wicket-keeper Andy Flower. He is the first England cricketer to score three consecutive one-day international hundreds. He also became the first England wicket-keeper to claim nine dismissals in a Test match twice, against South Africa and Sri Lanka, both of which came in 2016. Stokes and Bairstow put together a world record 399 runs for the sixth wicket in 2016 and where Bairstow made a 150.

As he is from Yorkshire, he was nicknamed Yorkshire Jonny Bairstow aka YJB.

In recent years, Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy have formed a formidable opening pair for England in the limited overs form. Bairstow was also influential in England winning the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
