Mickey Arthur gives it back to a Twitterati criticizing him for not congratulating SL player getting latest IPL contracts

IPL 2021 is all set to kick off its UAE leg on September 19 and will be played till October 15. In the latest turn of events, two Sri Lanka players got their IPL contracts with RCB and would be seen in the UAE. Leg spinner Wanindu Hasaranga and pacer Dushmantha Chameera have joined the squad as replacements of Adam Zampa and Daniel Sams.

In the same turn of events, a Twitter user fired a bullet at Lanka coach Mickey Arthur who didn’t make any public congratulatory message for these two players. The user added that is the coach of SL not happy with players getting a chance in IPL or will he again look out for spoiling their opportunity.

Arthur didn’t stop himself even a bit and gave it back to the user in the best way. Arthur added that he regularly talks to his players and it is not necessary every time that a public statement has to be made. He further urged the fans to think a bit before making any random comment about him or players.

“I speak to our players most days and don’t have to go on social media to congratulate them, I do that behind closed doors! Before you comment think a bit,” tweeted Arthur.

It has to be noted that RCB now again looks strong on paper and would be keen on grabbing their maiden IPL glory. The two new signings by RCB have come as their replacements for Zampa and Sams who will not be available for the UAE leg of IPL 2021. Hasaranga impressed big time in Lanka’s latest T20I series against India and was declared as the player of the series and his teammate Chameera also turned heads with his disciplined bowling.

“Hello guys, this is Wanindu Hasaranga. I am excited to join RCB this year. This is going to be a fun ride. Join us and cheer for us. Stay safe,” said Hasaranga on joining RCB

“I am so so excited to join Royal Challengers family for the upcoming IPL. Looking forward to playing alongside Virat, AB de, Maxwell, Chahal, and other talented players Will give 100% to my team RCB at all times. Watch out for some fireworks. Stay indoors, wear the mask, keep supporting RCB. See you soon all. Bye for now” stated Chameera
