As February 14, is considered as St. Valentine's day aka the 'Day of Love', several cricketers on the occassion of Valentine's day, choose to showcase their love for their beloved ones both on and off the field. Earlier today, Indian cricketer, Prithvi Shaw chose to post a message on his Instagram which went viral with fans giving their mixed reactions regarding the same.
Meanwhile, in the same vein, former Sri Lanka cricketer and current ICC umpire, Kumar Dharmasena has posted a rather unique post on social media, which has left the netizens scratching their heads. Kumar Dharmasena had posted a collage-picture of two combined photos: One of himself with former BCCI President, Sourav Ganguly, and another with former PCB Chairman, Ramiz Raja.
Now, the question arises, what caused the legendary figure to post such a collage on Valentine's day?
'What was he thinking?' - Twitter goes bonkers over Kumar Dharmasena's post
The prime reason for the same was evidently the caption of the post, which the 51-year-old had used for the collage, which sent the twitterati into a frenzy and left them clueless as it was hard for them to draw a logical conclusion out of it.
“Happy Valentine’s to all of you," Dharmasena wrote on his Facebook account along with heart emojis in the caption to his photos with former Indian skipper and BCCI President, Sourav Ganguly and the former PCB chairman, Ramiz Raja.
Let's have a look how Twitter reacted to the post-
