Throughout his illustrious cricket career, Mahela Jayawardene rarely looked like the guy who would sledge or get under the skin of the opposition players.
The legendary batsman had always let his bat do the talking and earned respect across the globe for his personality. But seems like the former Sri Lanka skipper has a witty side which he managed to keep under the wraps during his playing days.
Well, the whole world saw Jayawardene’s funnier side when he left an ardent Mahendra Singh Dhoni fan red-faced with a hilarious reply on Twitter.
It all began when Jayawardene, who coached Mumbai Indians to IPL triumph in 2017, took to Twitter to pay his tribute to Usain Bolt, the most decorated sprinter of all time. Bolt brought down curtains on his career after finishing third in 100m race at the IAAF World Athletics Champions in London on Saturday (August 5).
Tributes poured in from millions around the world and Jayawardene also followed suit.
Respect @usainbolt 👏👏👏

However, one Dhoni fan mended Jayawardene’s tweet a little bit and wrote:
“Also respect to @msdhoni who is more faster than bolt”
Also respect to @msdhoni who is more faster than bolt

But little did the fan know that the former player would come up a reply that he would be left speechless.
Was Dhoni on his bike? 🙊 https://t.co/4G92pBh8yi
