New Delhi: Faf du Plessis, who captain a World XI team in the recently concluded Independence Cup in Pakistan, became the target of angry Twitteratti for his poor word choice.

After playing his part in helping Pakistan get a taste of international cricket after a very long time, the South African captain returned home, safely.

Safely, that's the word he used in his Twitter post. He wrote in the tweeter post, "Arrived safely back home .Thank you Pakistan and Lahore for your hospitality."

Unfortunately for the Protea, that inncous looking word overshadowed the second part of the message.

Here are some of the tweets:

Pakistan beat World XI 2-1 in the three-match T20I series. All the matches were played at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
