Dale Steyn jeers Steve Smith on Twitter

In what we can say a twisted manner of trolling people, Dale Steyn today taunted Australian skipper Steven Smith with a humorous reply to his teammate Farhaan Behardien’s tweet. Behardien made a tweet yesterday describing the satisfaction of being at home. He tweeted, “Waking up in your own bed… #priceless”

Waking up in your own bed… #priceless

The tweet was just an ordinary one until Dale Steyn walked in and made everyone laugh by mocking Australian Steve Smith saying – “@fudgie11 Steve Smith agrees…”

@fudgie11 Steve Smith agrees… ?

The reply made by his fans to his tweet was hilarious. Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Irfan also was very amused.

Man .. that hurts! 🙂 @DaleSteyn62 @fudgie11 https://t.co/CdtmDafGF0

Steve Smith’s decision to leave his team mid-way through the ODI series to take rest has drawn a bit of criticism for him. Smith made this decision after the end of the 2nd ODI which his team lost by 82 runs citing packed upcoming schedule as the reason. The cricketing world was surprised with his decision and many gave their opinion regarding his decision.

CA quoted Smith on Twitter saying, “I hate missing cricket, but in the long run, it will do me a world of good.”

“The schedule is very busy. I still want to take on the role in all three formats and do it to the best of my ability” he said.

Smith, however, isn’t alone and has received support from his cricket board and coach. Australian head coach Darren Lehmann has defended the management’s decision to rest their skipper. He said that Smith needed to be fresh before the start of the South Africa series which Australia are set to play after the conclusion of the Sri Lanka tour.

Australian dashing opener, David Warner will take over the captaincy from Steve Smith for remainder of the Sri Lankan tour (3 One Day Internationals and 2 T20 Internationals)
