India Premier League teams are quite vocal and active on social media to engage fans with ‘witty’ Tweets and remarks as they wait for the next season of the cash-rich league to start.

Ahead of the IPL auctions, Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings were engaged in a clever banter on micro-blogging site Twitter on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, three-time champions Mumbai Indians took to Twitter to share a picture and dare Twitterati to post the picture of a better all-rounder trio than Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard.

“Find a better allrounder trio. We will wait,” wrote Mumbai Indians with a picture of Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard and Krunal Pandya.

 

Responding to the Tweet, SunRisers Hyderabad official Twitter handle wrote, “The wait is over,” posting with a photograph of Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan and Shakib Al Hasan.

 

 

After SRH’s reply, taking a dig at the SunRisers, MI posted a picture of their three IPL trophies and captioned the image as “the wait goes on”.

 

However, defending champions Chennai Super Kings had the last laugh as they posted a Tweet with an image of its captain MS Dhoni alone and captioned it “Three faces”.

The reply of Chennai Super Kings drew more retweets and likes than the original tweet by Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians.
