Former South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn will not continue as the bowling coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025. He, however, will remain associated with the Sunrisers Eastern Cape team in SA20. Steyn had taken up the SRH role before the 2022 season but was unavailable for IPL 2024 due to personal reasons. Former New Zealand fast bowler James Franklin had served as a replacement for Steyn. On X (Formerly Twitter), Steyn said: "A big thank you to Sunrisers Hyderabad for my few years with them as bowling coach at the IPL, unfortunately, I won't be returning for IPL 2025. However, I will continue to work with Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the SA20 here in South Africa. Two time winners here in SA20, let's try make it three in a row."
