Steyn’s swing with high pace inspired me to take up fast bowling, says Nabi

Jammu and Kashmir pace sensation Auqib Nabi says former South African speedster Dale Steyn’s ability to swing the ball at a high speed inspired him to take up fast bowling.
Nabi, who played a key role in J&K’s maiden title win in the Ranji Trophy this year, is in the Delhi Capitals’ camp waiting to make his debut in the Indian Premier League.
He might get a chance on Saturday when Delhi takes on Mumbai Indians in a home match.
“I used to watch Dale Steyn a lot when I was young. The way he swung the ball at such high pace inspired me to become a fast bowler and hopefully, play for India one day,” Nabi told ‘JioHotstar’.
“I used to get scolded a lot by my father for constantly playing cricket because I didn’t have his support. He wanted me to become a doctor,’ the 29-year-old recalled.
