Ravichandran Ashwin Taunts Brad Hodge On Twitter

The Indian all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has taunted the Australian cricketer Brad Hodge, who tendered an apology after he faced backlash for questioning Virat Kohli’s commitments after the Indian skipper skipped the fourth Test against Australia at Dharamsala, due to the shoulder injury.

Brad Hodge, after listening to news of Virat Kohli skipping the Test raised doubts and questioned Virat Kohli’s commitments as he said,

He faced backlash for questioning the Indian skipper which later forced the coach of Gujarat Lions to tender an apology to Virat Kohli and the people of India. He issued a statement on Twitter which read as,

There might be a chance when the RCB captain will skip the first few games of the IPL as he himself indicated that he is not 100% fit yet. However, both franchise and Kohli are yet to come up with an official confirmation.
