Aakash Chopra is one of the most popular ex-cricketers turned analysts, who has made a name for himself with his entertaining comments and puns while carefully analysing the nitty gritties of the game. The former opening batsman is known for his cheeky comments, on almost every relevant issue related to the game at the moment.
However, he is also known for calling people out on Twitter and standing up for himself. After the whole Deepti Sharma- Charlotte Dean run-out controversy, the former Indian opener came out in support of the Indian all rounder by calling out the hypocrisy of the English cricketers. In fact, he also took a dig at English cricketers during the recent obstructing the field controversy involving Matthew Wade and Mark Wood.
However, now Aakash Chopra has stood up for himself on Twitter when he shut down a troll aptly for insulting him. Citing Chopra’s international and IPL career statistics, the user questioned his credibility as an analyst and even called him a ‘failed cricketer’. “Please explain your career too. What is this? How can you talk about cricket? When you are a failed cricketer,” the user tweeted.
Instead of staying silent at this unidentified troll, Aakash Chopra decided to give him a taste of his own medicine as he sent an apt reply, thus shutting the user down. I googled you…found no career in cricket or otherwise. “Going by your logic, how can you talk about me?? When you a ________ person in life? On a serious note : get a life, my friend. Love you” the former opening batsman wrote.
However, he has successfully transitioned into one of the most successful analysts in the game right now with 4 million followers on Twitter and a successful Youtube Channel with 3.5 million subscribers.
