New Delhi: Ace Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and former South African batsman Herschelle Gibbs, on Monday, were involved in an exchange on Twitter which eventually turned awkward. Ashwin, while replying to Gibbs’s jibe about his perceived inability to run fast, raked up the South African alleged involvement in the 2000 match-fixing scandal.
It all started with Ashwin promoting a new pair of running shoes on his Twitter account and emphasising on their comfort and ability to ease running, to which Gibbs replied “Hopefully you will be able to run a bit faster now ashwin”.
