Along with that, they also get the opportunity to connect with their favourite players, who hold a huge base on their social media handles and update the fans with full professionalism. Most of the posts are related to the team moments, but some of them even go unfiltered, showing the funny side of the players. Such moments happen mostly on X (Twitter), where cricketers have a funny banter with each other, now and then. Let’s take a look at some of the most hilarious tweets made by the cricketers online.
The Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma, is known for his funny character on the field, which makes the game even more entertaining for the players and fans. But a few of the Rohitians know him as an entertainer who sometimes goes off on even his teammates in a friendly banter. Such an incident has taken place between Rohit Sharma and Yuzvendra Chahal.
India had won the 2020 series against Australia by 2-1, and after celebrating the win, the Hitman took a dig at Chahal, one of the funniest players of the team. He posted a picture of WWE superstar The Rock and Yuzvendra Chahal side by side, highlighting that although their tattoos match, their body doesn’t.
Yuzvendra Chahal, who is undoubtedly the funniest player in the Indian cricket team, can’t be kept away when it comes to cricket bloopers. After Rohit Sharma had played his part, roasting Chahal by comparing him with Dwayne Johnson or The Rock, Yuzvendra Chahal patiently waited for his turn to arrive.
Just a few months after Sharma trolled Chahal, the latter hit back in the same way, but it was more hilarious than what Sharma did. Using an application, he made a girl’s image of Rohit Sharma with long hair and no beard. Besides this, he also put a funny caption to the same, following which various Indian fans showcased their funny reactions to this Twitter banter between Chahal and Rohit.
The Master Blaster, Sachin Tendulkar, is often known for his professionalism and dedication, which he has shown to the game, even after a decade of his retirement. But, do you know that Sachin Tendulkar could even go off the filter sometimes on his X (Twitter) account. This happened when Tendulkar wished Lasith Malinga on his birthday.
Tendulkar and Malinga shared a special bond as they were together in the Mumbai Indians for a long time and have also been opponents in international matches. Wishing him on his birthday, the Master Blaster also took a jibe at his hairstyle, which invited a lot of funny reactions from the fans. He said that while facing Malinga’s deliveries, he focused on the ball rather than his hair.
During 2013, India had several T20 bilateral series, which had just one match each. This thing must’ve frustrated Ravindra Jadeja, who was an integral part of the Indian team’s T20 line-up. However, Captain Cool, also known as Mahendra Singh Dhoni, took this moment on Twitter to drop the best mic-drop moment.
In his tweet, he gave a remark to Jadeja being upset about India having just one T20I match in the bilateral series. But continuing the same, he also said that the BCCI has come up with the Indian Premier League to solve the issues being faced by Jadeja. He urged everyone to thank the Indian all-rounder for his initiative to bring more T20 games for the fans.
Whenever someone talks about Twitter banters between players, the first thought that hits our mind is Wasim Jaffer and Michael Vaughan, as this duo has been involved in several banter sessions with each other. On one occasion, Wasim Jaffer trolled Vaughan in such a way that was only understood by the Indian fans at first.
Michael Vaughan is known for poking the fans or teams with his tweets, and Jaffer decided to take this moment for a jibe at him. He compared Vaughan with Hrithik Roshan, saying that although Roshan has an extra finger, it is Vaughan who loves to poke everyone. This tweet was one of the best ways in which Vaughan received a reply from Jaffer in their Twitter banters.
Virender Sehwag, the former Indian player, is now known for his funny jibes on the players with his commentary skills. But it is not just the commentary panel, where Sehwag can roast the players, as sometimes he even hops over to Twitter for some banter. On one occasion, he decided not to roast any other player, but himself.
He posted an image with his wife, and fans showered their love on this beautiful couple. But to make it hilarious, Sehwag added a caption to the same, which showcased the similarities between a husband and a Split AC. The Split AC remains noisy on the outside, but on the inside, it is quiet, cool, and controlled by a remote. Such a comparison by Viru was remarked by the fans as one of the funniest tweets by a former Indian player.
Jofra Archer, known for his magnificent bowling skills, which have scared most of the batsmen around the world, also holds some roasting skills. Sounds a bit funny, but it is true, as Jofra Archer also bowls some beautiful yorkers to his fans on his social media accounts. Recently on X (Twitter), he roasted a fan who asked him about his Test return.
A Twitter user said that Jofra Archer plays every match in First-class cricket, but he gets injured whenever international matches come up. To this, Archer replied with a video saying, “Here’s the attention you ordered. Enjoy.” This is known to be one of the funniest responses made by any cricketer to the fans.
Jofra Archer not only trolls his cousins or friends, or even fans, through his tweets, but he also once trolled his teammate, Moeen Ali. The famous Barmy Army tweeted an image on their social media accounts, where Moeen Ali was giving a sneak peek of the match and was caught on camera. Thus, the Barmy Army let the Twitter users give a caption to the same.
Who would’ve thought that it would be Jofra Archer to provide a caption to Moeen Ali’s photo? Archer replied to the post and said:
When you cook the Christmas meal for the family and you hear someone spit it out and ask who made this?!
This caption by Jofra Archer somehow fit the situation perfectly well and received a lot of hilarious responses from the fans.
Jonty Rhodes is known for his immense fielding efforts, which have made him sort of a high-flyer on the cricket field, who just flies to take catches whenever he sees the ball. For this, Virender Sehwag decided to take a funny dig at Jonty Rhodes when it was his birthday.
Thus, Sehwag surely did wish him a Happy Birthday, but in his style. He wrote in his tweet that while Jonty Rhodes was fielding, he must have gotten confused and started playing Chidiya Ud, which is a popular Indian game, played by most of the kids with their friends earlier.
