New Delhi: South African speedster Dale Steyn recently took on social media to congratulate his friend, Ishant Sharma, soon after the Indian sent back Matt Renshaw for an LBW on Day 5 of the third Test between India and Australia at Ranchi.
It was the 29th over of Australia's second innings. Following a few heated up gestures, Ishant swung a length ball into the batsman, which hit him right in front of the wickets and the umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger. The Ranchi crowd heard a loud roar as the pacer exhaled his frustration on sending back the young left-hander.
Following the wicket, the South African legend posted an old picture of him along with Ishant in traditional Indian attire on Twitter, congratulating the 28-year-old tall pacer for that wicket.

Moments later, Irfan Pathan replied to Steyn's tweet saying, "looking good boys", and wished him for his speedy recovery as well.

Despite a huge fightback by the Indians, Aussies had managed to pull a draw on Day 5 with which they managed to level series 1-1. The next Test on March 25 at Dharamshala, now becomes the deciding Test as to who gets a hold on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
