Bit of a tight one but it's always good to be back (at RCB) playing against some of the best in the world in some of the most difficult conditions. Very excited to get back to Bengaluru and with the second win (of IPL 2019) hopefully a bit of momentum for the rest of the tournament," Steyn replied.
