On a day Indians have their chests swollen with pride with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully accomplishing its lunar mission, Ashwin was one of the many Indian cricketers to congratulate the space agency for its unprecedented achievement.
R Ashwin Trolls Narendra Modi Parody On Twitter
Post Ashwin tweeted his congratulatory words, a certain parody handle of India’s prime minister Narendra Modi replied to his tweet which read, “Congratulations to every indian thank you ISRO for making this possible…”.
Fully aware of the silly game which the PM’s parody handle was interested in playing, Ashwin decided to give him/her back with a witty yet humbling response as if from a Modi fanboy! “Sir how are you? I am so glad you replied to my tweet. I am honoured,” read Ashwin’s comment.
While Ashwin wasn’t fooled, a lot of people on Twitter were apparently pretty much convinced that the all-rounder had fallen for the trap.
However, Ashwin’s subsequent tweets confirmed that his reply to Narendra Modi (Parody) wasn’t the one intended for India’s actual prime minister, but for the one clearly pretending to be his impersonator.

The Vikram lander carries the Pragyaan rover inside, which now has a task cut-out for itself to explore the lunar surface.
