Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-shows-gender-bias-against-indian-women-cricketers-for-travel-and-testing-ahead-of-england-tour-criticized/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England’s</a> veteran cricketer Sarah Taylor have almost nothing in common and putting the names of both the cricketers in the same conversation hardly makes sense. However in 2014, both the players became the talk of the town after their personal conversation on Twitter went viral.

In 2014, both India’s Men team and England’s Women’s team ended up on the wrong side of the result during the finals of the T20 World Cup. After the England team lost their game, Jadeja decided to message Sarah regarding the game. However, the Indian all-rounder wasn’t very familiar with Twitter, and he decided to personal message Taylor without following her.

Since Jadeja wasn’t following Sarah, she couldn’t reply to his DM and had to tag him in order to reply to his messages. The English cricketer’s replies were visible to the public eye and the fans became very well aware regarding the conversation from Sarah’s side. The duo was talking about each other’s finals and was discussing what went wrong for their teams. In the end, both the players decided to meet the next day by the poolside at 10 AM.

The first One Day International between India and New Zealand in Mumbai in October 2017 saw the visitors registering a stunning victory courtesy of Ross Taylor. During the game, Taylor launched an assault on the Indian bowlers as he stitched a 200-run partnership with Tom Latham to help Black Caps chase a massive total of 281 runs.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/shiv-sunder-das-named-batting-coach-of-india-womens-team-ahead-of-england-tour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India’s</a> veteran opener Virender Sehwag seemed impressed with Taylor’s exploits but didn’t fail to take a sly dig with his one-liners. In his tweet, Sehwag referred to the Kiwi batter with the Hindi meaning of his last name, darji. &#8220;Well played @RossLTaylor Darji ji. Great effort after handling the pressure of Diwali orders,&#8221; wrote Sehwag&#8217;s tweet.

However, it was Taylor who stole the thunder as instead of letting the joke pass, he stunned Sehwag by replying in Hindi. &#8220;Thanks @virendersehwag bhai agli Baar Apna order time pe Bhej dena so Mai Apko agli Diwali ke pehle deliver kardunga &#8230;.happy Diwali,&#8221; was the unexpected response by the Kiwi star.

(Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption>

There is no doubt to the fact that the Lord’s Cricket Ground holds much significance for the former Indian captain <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sourav-ganguly-and-rahul-dravid-inspired-me-to-play-cricket-jos-buttler/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sourav Ganguly</a>. In 1996, Ganguly made his Test debut at Lord’s and had a dream start to his career as he went on to smash a stunning hundred.

The other reason why the stadium is special is that under Ganguly’s captaincy India won the Natwest Trophy 2002 against England and scripted history. To celebrate the iconic moment, Ganguly went shirtless on the Lord’s balcony. In 2018, the former Indian skipper again paid a visit to the stadium and posted a balcony selfie with the caption, “Back at lords ..this is where career started ..”

The post by Ganguly caught the attention of former England skipper Nasser Hussain and he couldn’t stop himself from taking a dig at the Indian veteran. Under Ganguly’s post, Hussain commented, “You’re on that balcony again &#8230; nice to see you with your shirt on !!”

5. Shadab Khan and Hasan Ali’s banter on Twitter

(Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption>

Pakistan’s decorated cricketers Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan are good friends on and off the field. However, the two players represent two different franchises in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-or-babar-azam-ipl-or-psl-pakistan-fast-bowler-junaid-khan-makes-his-picks-in-a-rapid-fire-round/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pakistan Super League</a> (PSL) and that paved the way for hilarious banter between the two friends. The entire episode started with Hasan reacting to a post shared by Islamabad United Twitter handle where the players Faheem Ashraf, Rumman Raees, and Zafar Gohar can be heard saying that red is the color for victory.

Retweeting the post, Hasan mentioned that yellow is better than red, referring to the yellow jersey of Peshawar Zalmi and the red of Islamabad United. United’s skipper Shadab was quick to come up with a witty response as he reminded Hasan that Islamabad has two PSL trophies while Peshawar Zalmi has won just one. To this, Ali came up with an answer saying that this time, they will make the winnings equal.

2 PSL trophies &gt; 1 PSL trophy 🤣 <a href="https://t.co/t6fcpPA3aw">https://t.co/t6fcpPA3aw</a>&mdash; Shadab Khan (@76Shadabkhan) <a href="https://twitter.com/76Shadabkhan/status/1228930069386670080?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 16, 2020</a>

However, instead of using equals to sign, Ali used the greater than symbol, and the same provided Shadab another chance to pull the leg of Hasan. Highlighting the error, Shabad wrote, “Pehli baat 2=2 hota hai, 2&gt;2 tou ho nahi sakta. Dosri baat 3&gt;1 yaad rakhna”

Pehli baat 2=2 hota hai, 2&gt;2 tou ho nahi sakta. Dosri baat 3&gt;1 yaad rakhna&mdash; Shadab Khan (@76Shadabkhan) <a href="https://twitter.com/76Shadabkhan/status/1228959596133396480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 16, 2020</a>

United’s skipper Shadab was quick to come up with a witty response as he reminded Hasan that Islamabad has two PSL trophies while Peshawar Zalmi has won just one. To this, Ali came up with an answer saying that this time, they will make the winnings equal.

However, instead of using equals to sign, Ali used the greater than symbol, and the same provided Shadab another chance to pull the leg of Hasan. Highlighting the error, Shabad wrote, “Pehli baat 2=2 hota hai, 2&gt;2 tou ho nahi sakta. Dosri baat 3&gt;1 yaad rakhna”

In today’s time, social media plays a vital role in shaping up the career of any cricketer. The brand value and the popularity of any player are generally calculated by the number of followers they have on their social media handles. Almost all the cricketers, whether current or former, are quite active on their respective handles as they use it for promotion, brand endorsements and to connect more with their fans.
However, there have been times when the players have grabbed all the headlines owing to their weird and awkward conversations on Twitter. There are times when players find themselves in the middle of a bizarre conversation with fans or other players. In this article, lets’ take a look at such incidents when cricketers grabbed the limelight for having weird conversations on Twitter.
<h2>5 weird conversations on Twitter by cricketers</h2>
<h3>1. Ravindra Jadeja’s bizarre conversation with Sarah Taylor </h3>

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-shows-gender-bias-against-indian-women-cricketers-for-travel-and-testing-ahead-of-england-tour-criticized/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England’s</a> veteran cricketer Sarah Taylor have almost nothing in common and putting the names of both the cricketers in the same conversation hardly makes sense. However in 2014, both the players became the talk of the town after their personal conversation on Twitter went viral.
In 2014, both India’s Men team and England’s Women’s team ended up on the wrong side of the result during the finals of the T20 World Cup. After the England team lost their game, Jadeja decided to message Sarah regarding the game. However, the Indian all-rounder wasn’t very familiar with Twitter, and he decided to personal message Taylor without following her.
Since Jadeja wasn’t following Sarah, she couldn’t reply to his DM and had to tag him in order to reply to his messages. The English cricketer’s replies were visible to the public eye and the fans became very well aware regarding the conversation from Sarah’s side. The duo was talking about each other’s finals and was discussing what went wrong for their teams. In the end, both the players decided to meet the next day by the poolside at 10 AM.

Neesham is known for his wit and humor and tries to reply to any memes, questions, or trolls coming his way by the cricket fans. The final of the 2019 World Cup saw a huge jump in the all-rounder’s popularity as many sympathized with the player for losing the final against England due to boundary count.
In August 2019, in a random tweet, Neesham wrote, “I feel like I have a much-lessened fear of eternal damnation in hell thanks to traveling through LA Airport a few times”. Pakistani actress Sehar Shinwari took note of the tweet as she asked the all-rounder if he would like to be the father of her future children. She tweeted, “Jimmy would you like to be the daddy of my future kids”.Jimmy would you like to be the daddy of my future kids

The first One Day International between India and New Zealand in Mumbai in October 2017 saw the visitors registering a stunning victory courtesy of Ross Taylor. During the game, Taylor launched an assault on the Indian bowlers as he stitched a 200-run partnership with Tom Latham to help Black Caps chase a massive total of 281 runs.
<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/shiv-sunder-das-named-batting-coach-of-india-womens-team-ahead-of-england-tour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India’s</a> veteran opener Virender Sehwag seemed impressed with Taylor’s exploits but didn’t fail to take a sly dig with his one-liners. In his tweet, Sehwag referred to the Kiwi batter with the Hindi meaning of his last name, darji. &#8220;Well played @RossLTaylor Darji ji. Great effort after handling the pressure of Diwali orders,&#8221; wrote Sehwag&#8217;s tweet.
However, it was Taylor who stole the thunder as instead of letting the joke pass, he stunned Sehwag by replying in Hindi. &#8220;Thanks @virendersehwag bhai agli Baar Apna order time pe Bhej dena so Mai Apko agli Diwali ke pehle deliver kardunga &#8230;.happy Diwali,&#8221; was the unexpected response by the Kiwi star.

<h3>4. Nasser Hussain trolls Sourav Ganguly</h3>

There is no doubt to the fact that the Lord’s Cricket Ground holds much significance for the former Indian captain <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sourav-ganguly-and-rahul-dravid-inspired-me-to-play-cricket-jos-buttler/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sourav Ganguly</a>. In 1996, Ganguly made his Test debut at Lord’s and had a dream start to his career as he went on to smash a stunning hundred. 
The other reason why the stadium is special is that under Ganguly’s captaincy India won the Natwest Trophy 2002 against England and scripted history. To celebrate the iconic moment, Ganguly went shirtless on the Lord’s balcony. In 2018, the former Indian skipper again paid a visit to the stadium and posted a balcony selfie with the caption, “Back at lords ..this is where career started ..”
The post by Ganguly caught the attention of former England skipper Nasser Hussain and he couldn’t stop himself from taking a dig at the Indian veteran. Under Ganguly’s post, Hussain commented, “You’re on that balcony again &#8230; nice to see you with your shirt on !!”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Pakistan’s decorated cricketers Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan are good friends on and off the field. However, the two players represent two different franchises in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-or-babar-azam-ipl-or-psl-pakistan-fast-bowler-junaid-khan-makes-his-picks-in-a-rapid-fire-round/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pakistan Super League</a> (PSL) and that paved the way for hilarious banter between the two friends. The entire episode started with Hasan reacting to a post shared by Islamabad United Twitter handle where the players Faheem Ashraf, Rumman Raees, and Zafar Gohar can be heard saying that red is the color for victory. 
Retweeting the post, Hasan mentioned that yellow is better than red, referring to the yellow jersey of Peshawar Zalmi and the red of Islamabad United.
