MI, SRH and CSK engage in hilarious banter on Twitter

With the player auction for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 all set to take place in a few weeks, franchises on Tuesday engaged in hilarious banter on Twitter over the side which enjoys the best all-rounder trio. 

It all kicked off when the Mumbai Indians responded to a tweet by Hardik Pandya which contained an image of the cricketer, his brother Krunal Pandya and Windies player Kieron Pollard.

“Find a better allrounder trio. We will wait,” read the tweet.

The Sun Risers Hyderabad had the perfect response in store, with a picture of all-rounders Muhammad Nabi, Rashid Khan and Shakib Al Hasan, a message which said: “The wait is over!”

However, the Mumbai Indians made a stunning comeback by posting an image of their three IPL trophies over the years, along with a thinly veined taunt at their lack of success in comparison.
