A Twitter user shared a video of Steyn's aggressive celebration after getting Rohit Sharma clean bowled. He felt the South African pacer should have been fined for his celebration.

Recently, South Africa paceman Kagiso Rabada was handed over one match and after he earned his fourth demerit in 24 months from the ICC. After getting England captain Joe Root out, Rabada had screamed in the celebration which ICC found inappropriate. 

The Twitter user was relating Steyn's celebration with Rabada. "If i was @ICC I would have banned @DaleSteyn62 for life !!", he wrote.

Steyn responded to the user and said his celebration wasn't wrong at all. He backed himself and wrote, "Nothing wrong here. Didn’t charge the batter, maintained my line, celebrated like a champion. Don’t ask for fast and nasty then keyboard abuse when the mongrel comes out."
