IPL 2021: After facing backlash over exclusions of Faf du Plessis and Imran Tahir's names from their congratulatory post for South African players in CSK's IPL 2021 winning post, Cricket South Africa retracted their original social media post.

After facing plenty of backlash over their social media post to congratulate South Africa players in Chennai Super Kings' victorious team in Indian Premier League 2021, Cricket South Africa retracted their initial post. They included the names of Faf du Plessis and Imran Tahir in their post after initially excluding them.

Cricket South Africa on Saturday posted a message congratulating only Lungi Ngidi but ignored du Plessis and Tahir despite their former captain playing a key role in CSK's run to their 4th IPL title. Du Plessis hit a match-winning 85 in the IPL 2021 final against Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday in Dubai.
