Steyn went sold in the previous two IPL auctions and last played in the competition in 2016 when he represented Gujarat Lions.

The speedstar has also played for RCB between 2008 and 2010, taking 27 wickets.

RCB, who are yet to win a game this season and have lost six in a row, will be hoping Steyn fires from the word go.

The Virat Kohli-led side takes on Kings XI Punjab in Mohali on Saturday.
