Broadcasting company Star India recently bagged the official broadcasting media rights for the period of five years in the Indian Premier League. They managed to pip out Sony Pictures limited in the race by bidding a handsome amount of INR 16,347.50 crores (USD 2.55 billion). Soon after Star India bagged the IPL media rights, veteran broadcaster and anchor Archana Vijaya took to micro blogging site Twitter to express her happiness over the same.

She exclaimed that she got to know about the news whilst scrolling down her news feed on Twitter. She congratulated Star Sports India for having bagged the IPL media rights for the tenure between 2018 and 2022. It is worth noting that Archana Vijaya has not been on the constant radar in the IPL. She has been on the roster for a few seasons but has also seen herself sit out of action and being replaced by other lady anchors in the pre-match, mid-innings, and post-match shows.

She, however, is renowned for her work in the Xtraaa Innings show in the IPL editions where she has participated. Soon after Archana posted her tweet, a few fans ended up trolling her for her comments. They taunted that she is not having any other work at the moment.

“WOW ! Just came on to Twitter and learnt of @StarSportsIndia bagging the #IPLrights . Congratulations ! Upwards and onwards!” tweeted Archana Vijaya.

Here is how she got mocked for her tweet:

Archana’s reply

Well, Archana has been in the industry of broadcasting for almost a decade now. It comes as no surprise that she sort of understands that such mock replies are a part and parcel of the daily work. She was very sporting in her response to the replies that she got on her tweet. She tweeted back saying that the way her future is being predicted and analysis is being done on her career, is the more amusing story.

“But, what’s more amusing is the prediction/analysis of my future on my timeline ! Haha!” she tweeted in another tweet.
