Former South African fast bowler, Dale Steyn suffered a lot of backlashes when he chose to participate in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) over the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). His comments regarding IPL being less rewarding than PSL just added fuel to the fire as he became a target of the Indian fans on social networking sites.
Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had to suspend the 14th edition of the IPL as a number of players and support staff tested positive for Covid-19. The decision came after the T20 Extravaganza reached almost halfway stage with the first 29 matches done and dusted.

With IPL 2021 postponed, Dale Steyn didn’t fail to see the funny side of things as he took a dig at a fan who earlier mocked him for the cancelation of PSL 2021. On March 4, the user tweeted, “More time at hand for @DaleSteyn62 to figure out which of PSL or IPL is better. Perhaps also accounting for the fact that once started, the IPL managed to finish!”
That time, Steyn simply replied, “Haha you’re funny”
Haha you’re funny.

However, exactly two months after the short conversation, Steyn remembered that fan and after BCCI postponed IPL 2021, he took a sly dig by writing, “Hi”.
Hi 😷
