Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli stirred up a controversy yet again when he sent out a series of disparaging tweets that allegedly targeted cricketers-turned-commentators who are appearing on the pre innings show for IPL 2015- Extraaa Innings – Navjot Singh Sidhu, Shoaib Akhtar and Rameez Raja.
This is what he had to say:
However, he later apologized, saying that it wasn’t him but his friend who had tweeted all that.
He also added that that friend has been fired.
Morning friends.the tweets were not from me I apologize on behalf of my friend who had my phone and was tweeting.I fired him.sorry to all

My friends pls I request you that what my friend did last night was wrong.He is a big MI supporter.He doesn’t like losing.I am sorry again

Even though he deleted those defamatory tweets that his “friend” had tweeted, many people saw them, and they had no kind words for him.
I think the most surprising part of the entire fiasco is that Vinod Kambli has friends.

Even a parody account of Vinod Kambli can’t write what he has written.

Then the unthinkable happened, Kambli wrote a tweet that caused the death of 10% of my brain cells instantly
Now enough is enough.I oppolo sized still u people after my blood.tweets now what my friend said I am going to that.c’mon

If you’re still trying to figure out the meaning, welcome to the club. We figured oppolo sized = apologized.
Then he challenged everyone to come to the ‘maidan’
Toh aah jayo maidan mein tumhari
