Ravichandran Ashwin and Herschelle Gibbs were on Monday involved in a twitter spat, in which the India off-spinner could not stop himself from taking a match-fixing jibe at the former South African batsman.
It all started when former South African opener Herschelle Gibbs tweeted while reacting to a footwear brand that Ashwin endorsed on Monday, “Hopefully you will be able to run faster now Ashwin.” Gibbs claimed it was a joke but the tweet appeared to have touched a raw nerve in Ashwin attempting a comeback in the shorter formats where fielding is a critical element.
