Veteran South African pacer Dale Steyn heaped praises on quick Umran Malik and said he is relishing the bowling coach role at Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Steyn also said he wants to guide Umran Malik, the way Alan Donald did to him during the early stages of his career - being a mentor.

"Umran is fantastic. It (his performances) is no reflection of me at all. It's all him at the moment. He has got amazing skills, he is showing everybody, bowling 150 kph. I am kind of living through him, wishing I could do it. But it's all him at the moment. He is certainly somebody whom we should keep an eye on for the future," Steyn said.

"I had somebody like Alan Donald in the dressing room. I idolized Alan. When he congratulated me when I did something, that was fantastic. I kind of want to do the same thing for Umran.

"It's all him. I am going to just be there to put an arm around him when things are not going well and I am just going to be there to shake his hands when it goes really well,"

Steyn added that Umran has been told to not worry about economy rates and to try and bowl fast and keep the opposition batters on their toes.

"He bowls quick, so overall from a team point of view, that's what we want to see him bowl fast. We are not really too worried about the economy rate, this game works in circles where somebody you are going to concede 40 or 50 and someday he is going to get 3/15. So it kind of evens itself out,” he added.
