Mr. Nags Disappointed After Being Left Out From Retentions
On Wednesday, Comedian Danish Sait, who plays the character of Mr Nags on the RCB Insider Show, tweeted hilariously that RCB actually had not three, but four retentions, fourth being him aka Mr Nags.
“Extremely sad that cricket publications and journalists have spread misinformation regarding only 3 retentions at RCB, there are 4, Mr. Nags is retained. I hope the generalists will propagate the news and amplify this announcement. @RCBTweets,” Danish wrote on the microblogging site Twitter.
