5 times when cricketers gave befitting replies on social media

Fans on social media can be ruthless sometimes. The fact that social media has literally no filter, players often face criticism for their performance on the field. The players have to take it all in and not say anything to it. But, this is not just fans. Social media has given a platform to everyone with a cellphone and opinion to say it out loud.

Sometimes, some questions or some arguments can be quite harsh for the cricketers to take. And it is only sometimes that they give savage replies on social media. Social media has become such an intensive part of our lives, that it is quite impossible to even ignore what goes in that realm.

 5 instances when cricketers gave befitting replies on social media

1. Hanuma Vihari’s classy reply to Babul Supriyo

Recently, India pulled off a draw from the jaws of defeat against Australia in Sydney. Hanuma Vihari battled with a hamstring injury and kept blocking everything that came on his way in order to make sure that happened. It was a heroic knock, so say the least. 

At some point in time, the Andhra batsman was batting on less than 10 runs having faced more than 100 balls. Now, given all the situation in the match and injuries to the players, it was certain India would lose the match, had he not batted the way he did. But, Indian singer and politician, Babul Supriyo didn’t like his approach. He ended up putting up a tweet in which he said some outrageous things. The tweet reached Vihari’s feed somehow. 

The batsman saw that Supriyo had misspelt his name. Vihari took this opportunity and replied to the tweet and corrected him for getting the name wrong. The reply was fitting and had come from a man with integrity and the fans appreciated that.
