South Africa pacer Dale Steyn slammed Pakistan Super League (PSL) commentators on his Twitter account. He was upset over comments made on him on-air during the match between Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi. 

Steyn first asked his Twitter followers to name the commentator who made the comment. He then went on to write how it's not good for commentators to comment on anyone other than their cricket.

"Question, Which commentator said I have a mid-life crisis?", tweeted Steyn. It was Simon Doull who commented on the pacer's hair and said, "A little mid-life crisis with that hair” while the camera captured Steyn sitting in the dressing room. 

Doull's fellow commentator David Gower was also heard saying “Lockdown hair".

Steyn went on to lash out at the commentators and wrote, "If your job is to talk about the game, then do that. But if you use that airtime to abuse anyone for their weight, sexual choices, ethnic backgrounds, lifestyle etc, or even hairstyles, then I'm afraid I have no time for you as a human. You and anyone else like that to be fair."

"That’s all I have to say. It was a great time last night, fantastic to play in front of crowds again, cricket is so much better that way. We lost but hopeful to pull it together in our remaining games. Thanx for the support Have a great weekend everyone.", he added.
