My girlfriend says that my TV is broken: Dale Steyn
The former South African fast bowler revealed on JioCinema that his girlfriend complains of him watching so much cricket during the IPL. Steyn said, “Not only has it engulfed the IPL. That's engulfed many South Africans and myself, to be honest with you, I don't watch a lot of TV, but I seem to be glued to the seat when the IPL is on. My girlfriend says that my TV is broken, it's stuck on cricket right now IPL and watching MS the other night. That's exactly what we want to do."
He added, "You know, I've been on the receiving end of it before. I've watched it from a fan's point of view, I loved it. I mean, I am a much better mood because of what I've just seen. So can we get more of MS Dhoni out in the middle? That would be great.”
