New Delhi: Ravichandran Ashwin was forced to spend some of his time on Sunday engaging in a Twitter banter with Bangladesh fans.
It all started when the off-spinner posted a tweet on the social micro-blogging site about the Bangladesh-Oman qualifier.
While there was nothing wrong in what Ashwin wrote, some Bangladeshi fans saw this as an opportunity to troll the 29-year-old.
Ashwin is known to give it back as good as he gets it and that's exactly what he did.
Can't wait to see the Bangladesh v Oman game.If Bangladesh win,the whole country will be happy but if Oman does Cricket will be happy.#WT20

Now that Bangladesh have qualified for the Super 10s, it would be interesting to see the next installment of this Twitter battle.
India face Bangladesh on March 23 in Bengaluru.
