Mumbai: Former Indian pacer Parvinder Awana has taken to Twitter to congratulate South African batting legend AB de Villiers on his retirement from cricket. The video with the tweet was retaliated against.
AB de Villiers is the epitome of modern cricket with 360 degree shots. Parvinder Awana took to Twitter to congratulate the South African on his retirement. The note said ABD would like to thank all those who have contributed to cricket. Along with the tweet, Avana’s video of ABD taking wickets in an IPL match became a troll.
Awana, who has played only two international T20s and conceded 71 off 36 balls without conceding a single wicket, was unbeaten by fans. Hundreds of people protested following Awana’s tweet. De Villiers’ six-wicket haul against Awana and Suresh Raina’s 33-run knock came in response.
Awana looked to cheer the Indian team on beating New Zealand but the fans could not bear it. Several trolls have appeared on Twitter against Avana.
