Cheteshwar Pujara’s Priceless Response on R Ashwin tweet, said this
With the Ahmedabad Test heading towards a dreary draw on Day 5, the Indian cricket team handed the ball to ‘net bowlers’ Cheteshwar Pujara and Shubman Gill. Both bowled one over each before both the teams decided to end the match early. However, later, R Ashwin took to Twitter and posted a funny tweet, sharing a picture of Pujara bowling in the Ahmedabad Test.
Pujara gave a brilliant response to Ashwin’s tweet –
Pujara then gave a brilliant response to Ashwin which resulted in a funny Twitter conversation between the two.
“Main kya karu? Job chod du? (What should I do, leave my job?),” Ashwin had tweeted, with a picture of Pujara bowling. In reply, Pujara said – “Nahi (No). This was just to say thank you for going 1 down in Nagpur”
Ashwin then responded to Pujara saying –
“Your intent is appreciated but wonder how this is a payback”. The India Test batter replied again, saying: “Giving you enough rest so that you can go 1 down again if needed in the future”.
Ashwin was one of India’s biggest difference makers in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The offspinner finished the series as the top wicket-taker, bagging 25 scalps. He was also named joint player of the series along with Ravindra Jadeja, who bagged 22 wickets in the series, as the second-highest wicket-taker.
