On their Return to the competition after serving out a two-year suspension, two-time IPL winners Chennai Super Kings heart throbbing win over reigning champions Mumbai Indians in the opener of the Indian Premier League here in Wankhede on Saturday was the perfect appetizer for their die-hard fans of things to come in the tournament.
Bravo”s heroics both with bat and ball led CSK to a famous win three days ago but their on-field heroics are not the only one which is in discussion these days. The Yellow army”s social media game is on point as well.
On Twitter, English legend Michael Vaughan who has been signed by STAR as a commentator for this year”s IPL wished Good Morning to India as signalling his arrival for commentary stint in the country.
But CSK admin gave a sarcastic reply which made everyone cringe and laughs at the same time, CSK official twitter account replied
“Good morning! But why you wishing Jonty Rhode’s daughter?”
Good morning! But why you wishing Jonty Rhode’s daughter? 😊💛🦁

The legendary South African fielder Rhodes’ daughter, who is just three years old now, is called India Jeanne. Jonty who was also the fielding coach for Mumbai Indians till last year has a deep attachment towards India as a country so he named his daughter after the country.
Many twitteratis thought the reply was boring, lame and unnecessary while some of them thought it to be funny.
Here”s the reply and the reactions to it:
Why? Is banter banned today? We thought it’s only water bottles!! 😜
