Social media and its diverse platforms can often take a toll on a user. While no particular individual has been at the receiving end this time around, there have been a couple of IPL (Indian Premier League) franchises which were seen locking horns against each other in a funny Twitter banter.
It all started last night when India all-rounder Hardik Pandya shared a picture of his elder brother Krunal Pandya and Windies’ all-rounder Kieron Pollard on his Twitter account. The trio accounts for 3,850 runs and 112 wickets across them in the IPL and is arguably the most diverse all-rounder trio in the tournament.

Taking pride in their players bonding with each other, Mumbai Indians’ official Twitter account retweeted Hardik Pandya’s tweet late in the night saying “Find a better allrounder trio. We will wait.”

Things appeared well in control till a Sunrisers Hyderabad entering the frame in the afternoon. SRH posted a photo of their overseas all-rounder trio of Shakib Al Hasan, Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi. Going by sheer numbers, this trio accounts for 847 runs and 98 wickets when combined together.

One a bonafide test failure, one a test mediocrity and the other isn’t yet good enough for a test cap. No offense but I can think about 25 better allrounders from the top of my head and I haven’t yet scratched the surface.
