5 Trending conversations by cricketers on Twitter

If you thought social media was all about glamour and promotions for sportspersons and cricketers, then you may be wrong. Yes, there are promotional videos, tweets and messages, but there is a lot of other activity by cricketers on social media. They do have quite a bit of banter on it as well. We see a lot of leg-pulling and trolling as well. In fact, over the last few years, there are a few cricketers who have started to reply to their fans as well. However, all is not hunky-dory always as the players might get into some serious banter among each other or even with the fans. Though here we will only talk about the trending and friendly conversation between the cricketers. Here are five such conversations by cricketers that were trending on Twitter: Virat Kohli asks for Rohit Sharma’s double hundred manual Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. (Photo Source: Twitter) There may be rumours of a rift between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the moment. But the two always shared a great camaraderie. The captain vice-captain duo are two of the best batsmen in the Indian team. Moreover, they have shared great partnerships on the field as well. Back in 2017, the Indian captain missed the limited-overs leg when Sri Lanka toured India in November-December as he got married to Anushka Sharma. It was Rohit who led the side in Kohli’s absence. However, when Kohli got married, Rohit sent out a tweet congratulating the duo and also said that he would be sharing the husband manual. Kohli thanked his vice-captain. However, that was not all. He also wanted the double hundred manual from Rohit. The Mumbaikar is the only batsman in world cricket to have scored three ODI double tons in the history of the game. Haha thanks Rohit, and please do share the Double Hundred Handbook as well. 😀 — Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) December 19, 2017 Stuart Broad and James Anderson debate over the ‘James Anderson’ end James Anderson and Stuart Broad of England (Photo by Ryan Pierse/Getty Images) Stuart Broad and James Anderson are one of the best new-ball pairs of the modern era. The England fast bowling duo has accomplished many things side by side. They’ve bowled together and rattled the batsmen with swing and seam for the major part of their careers. They are on the top of the list of leading wicket-takers for England in Test cricket. In 2017, the Pavilion End at the Old Trafford in Manchester was renamed to the James Anderson End in honour of the pace bowler’s achievements. However, a year later, a fan asked a question whether Anderson bowls from the end named after him or allows Broad to take that honour. Broad kicked off the conversation by saying that it is Anderson who has the final say and more often than not bowls from the James Anderson end. The veteran Lancashire fast bowler joined in the conversation. The two kept pulling each other’s leg before the fan declared Anderson as the winner. Every morning of a Test we walks in & says “James Anderson is going to bowl from the James Anderson End today.” — Stuart Broad (@StuartBroad8) July 20, 2018 Now now Stuart. No need for that! — James Anderson (@jimmy9) July 20, 2018 Doubt it. — James Anderson (@jimmy9) July 20, 2018 Helps if you’re a one club man too 👍🌹 — James Anderson (@jimmy9) July 20, 2018 Jimmy has won this battle I’m afraid. Sorry Broady! 😂 — Stephen Jones (@SPJ91) July 20, 2018 Ross Taylor’s epic reply to Virender Sehwag’s darji comment Virender Sehwag and Ross Taylor. (Photo Source: Getty Images) Virender Sehwag is a very active Twitter user. His tweets are often funny and hilarious. In fact, he terms players with unique and innovative names. For example, he termed Ross Taylor as darji which in Hindi translates to a tailor. However, while admiring the former Kiwi skipper for one of his innings, Sehwag was caught off-guard by Taylor’s response. In 2017, Taylor along with Tom Latham forged a fabulous partnership to lead New Zealand to a win in the first ODI in Mumbai. Hence, Sehwag put out an appreciation tweet which also included a bit of leg-pulling. However, to everyone’s surprise, the New Zealander replied in Hindi and continued the banter. This eventually led to Taylor pulling Sehwag’s leg by asking him if his tailor hasn’t done a good job during Diwali. The former Indian opener replied sportingly as well as he said that no one can match the high standards the Kiwi middle-order batsman has set. Thanks @virendersehwag bhai agli Baar Apna order time pe Bhej dena so Mai Apko agli Diwali ke pehle deliver kardunga ….happy Diwali — Ross Taylor (@RossLTaylor) October 23, 2017 Has your Darji not done a good job this Diwali 😜? — Ross Taylor (@RossLTaylor) October 23, 2017 No one can match up to your high standards of stitching Darji ji , whether it is a pant or a partnership @RossLTaylor https://t.co/WDInvXL4EW — Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) October 23, 2017 Sure, will come up with orders from entire family . Best wishes for the next few matches before getting to the main business . — Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) October 23, 2017 Ravindra Jadeja and Sarah Taylor’s awkward conversation Ravindra Jadeja and Sarah Taylor. (Photo Source: Twitter) This may come as a surprise as to what conversation Ravindra Jadeja and Sarah Taylor might’ve had. However, back in 2014, they did have a pretty awkward and weird chat on Twitter. While one was direct messaging, the other was conserving by tweeting out through mentions. This incident broke out after the 2014 World T20 in Bangladesh. India lost the men’s final while England lost in the women’s final. Hence, Jadeja had sent Taylor a message on Twitter after her team’s loss against Australia. With Jadeja not following Taylor, the England’s wicket-keeper bat was unable to reply to the DM. However, she mentioned him in her tweets and continued the conversation. The two were talking about their respective team’s performances. However, the conversation became weird and awkward as Taylor’s tweets were seen by everyone and the England wicket-keeper noticed that. She asked the Indian all-rounder to follow her but then left the decision to him. However, in the end, the two of them decided to meet next morning by the pool. @imjadeja thank you. And you 🙂 — Sarah Taylor (@Sarah_Taylor30) April 6, 2014 @imjadeja neither did we! Bad day to bat first — Sarah Taylor (@Sarah_Taylor30) April 6, 2014 @imjadeja ha same!! Its because they can see me tweeting you! — Sarah Taylor (@Sarah_Taylor30) April 6, 2014 @imjadeja you have to follow me in order to DM — Sarah Taylor (@Sarah_Taylor30) April 6, 2014 @imjadeja it wont let me respond…so again…leaving it with you 🙂 aren't you at the ICC event? — Sarah Taylor (@Sarah_Taylor30) April 6, 2014 @imjadeja haha all of your fans I believe. Have a good night — Sarah Taylor (@Sarah_Taylor30) April 6, 2014 @imjadeja tomorrow night. U? — Sarah Taylor (@Sarah_Taylor30) April 6, 2014 @imjadeja 10am pool — Sarah Taylor (@Sarah_Taylor30) April 6, 2014 Gibbs-Ashwin battle out in a Twitter war Herschelle Gibbs and Ravichandran Ashwin. (Photo by Getty Images) Ravichandran Ashwin is a pretty outspoken character and doesn’t like to hold his emotions back. Last year in February, he was promoting Nike’s new shoes (NIKE React) and put out a video as well. Ashwin also showed a bit of excitement for those shoes. However, Herschelle Gibbs tried pulling his leg by saying hopefully he’d be able to run faster after sporting those shoes. Ashwin didn’t take this well and was pretty miffed about it as he accused Gibbs of fixing games. The South African replied by saying Ashwin couldn’t even take a joke but the Tamil Nadu offie replied that his reply was meant to be taken as a joke as well. Ashwin felt that Gibbs and the Twitterati perceived it wrong. However, he was criticised heavily for his comments while a few slammed him for the same as well. But all seems to be well between the two players now. Hey Guys! Just got my hands on the new NIKE React. It’s got a stunning design and the foam technology used makes it light and comfortable to use. Undoubtedly, the best running shoes I’ve stepped into, can’t wait to flaunt them. #NikeReact #InstantGo #teamNike pic.twitter.com/SmspLkw2dA — Ashwin Ravichandran (@ashwinravi99) February 19, 2018 India cricketer Ashwin's ugly tweet. can he talk about fixing after playing for banned (2 years) CSK? #Cricket pic.twitter.com/QMW78tlTqI — Daniel Alexander (@daniel86cricket) February 19, 2018 I totally believed my reply was a joke too, but look how people and yourself perceived it. I am totally game for this sort of fun mate, we shall dine over this sometime.😂 https://t.co/Z7YdXQnxeD — Ashwin Ravichandran (@ashwinravi99) February 19, 2018
