The T20 Cricket World Cup 2016 is getting more and more intense with every day and Twitter doesn’t fail to provide the much-needed comic relief in times of distress.
For every last ball thriller India is involved in, there’s a tweet like this:
And for every Hardik Pandya ball, there’s this:
But Twitter’s best contribution, by far, to Cricket are the fake accounts of famous cricketers.
Now these aren’t your regular match-analysis tweets, these are the tweets that you’d think famous cricketers would tweet after half a bottle of whiskey.
So here are a few hilarious tweets by fake accounts of famous cricketers:
1. @Trendulkar
Disclaimer: While this is not a direct parody account, Trendulkar is known for poking fun at cricketers in the most unforgiving way.
On match-fixing:
On India’s batting openers:
Sometimes India gives free runs and other times, America does.
Lala is a match-winner, for another team.
2. @SirJadeja
If that doesn’t get one to perform, I don’t know what will.
*Plays “Solah baras ki baali umar ko salaam” on loop*
Nasty Twitter is the best Twitter.
3. @SirIshantSharma
*Burn*
Ouch!
4. @NasirJamshed_
Laughed harder than I should have.
Sincerely hoping Bumrah doesn’t read this before a match.
5. @notdavidwarner
Lala: Pakistan’s Joey Tribbiani. Refuses to grow old.
Turns out Warner’s as good at acting as he is on the off side.
*I knew you were trouble when you walked in… trouble trouble.*
*Tries not to cry*
6. @imno45
Comparison to Ajit Agarkar. A new low for Pakistan.
Again, hoping Rohit Sharma doesn’t read any of this before a match.
Keep ’em coming, Twitter. Because Cricket isn’t complete till someone tweets nasty stuff about the players.
