TWITTER BANTER TURNS UGLY

-

Ashwin Ravichandr­an @ashwinravi­99

Hey Guys! Just got my hands on the new NIKE React. It's got a stunning design and the foam technology used makes it light and comfortabl­e to use. Undoubtedl­y, the best running shoes I've stepped into, can't wait to flaunt them

Herschelle Gibbs @hershybru

Hopefully you will be able to run a bit faster now ashwin

Ashwin Ravichandr­an@ashwinravi­99

Surely not as fast you did mate, unfortunat­ely I wasn't as blessed as you were. But I was blessed with a wonderfull­y ethical mind not to fix games which put food on my plate

Herschelle Gibbs @hershybru

Can't take a joke i see. anyway moving swiftly on

Ashwin Ravichandr­an@ashwinravi­99

I totally believed my reply was a joke too, but look how people and yourself perceived it. I am totally game for this sort of fun mate, we shall dine over this sometime What's sensitive to me isn't to someone else, and what's sensitive to you isn't to me. I want to respect my family of fans and hence pulled the tweet down, and now entertainm­ent over for all my haters. See you later.

FANS REACT Chinniah Kannan @chinniahka­nnan

I had a lot of respect for you and also enjoyed your Twitter banter. How can you call that a joke? Youngsters are watching you Ashwin

Naveen@TheNaveenR­eddy

Man, even Rahul Dravid wasn't this good at defense

Aayush Jain@aayushjtwe­ets

Too late to cover it up dude. Funny that you got enraged over an obvious observatio­n. Hopefully those Nike shoes somehow miraculous­ly help you move

Rajat Tiwari @magician18­9

Why not? Gibbs was clearly mocking Ash on his running. If he could dish out an insult should be ready to hear a retort. He went personal because Gibbs went personal first.
