War of Tweets between Adam Zampa and Tabraiz Shamsi

Royal Challengers Bangalore spinner Tabraiz Shamsi has finally hit back at Adam Zampa after the Australian spinner criticised his bus driver  celebration following the dismissal of David Warner last Monday.

Warner, who cracked a match-winning half-century, fell just short of 8 runs from completing his first century of the season and the opener wasn’t too impressed as  Shamsi ran towards skipper Virat Kohli at deep covers and began his dancing routine that the left-arm chinaman bowler has been performing whenever he has taken a wicket this IPL.
“I was looking at Virat Kohli and I don’t think he was too impressed until he (Shamsi) got a bit closer,” Warner said when asked as to what did he make of the bowler’s celebrations.

“I think it’s a bit hard for a captain to stand there and not go (through) the motions. In my team, if someone does that at 150 off 15 overs, I wouldn’t accept that at all. I think it’s a bit fancy to be honest,” he remarked.

Echoing Warner’s sentiments, Pune Supergiants’ leg-spinner Adam Zampa took to twitter to express his disapproval of Shamsi’s behaviour.

Shamsi finally replied to his tweet and told the Australian spinner to concentrate on his own bowling and not on a rival’s celebration.

Zampa even liked Shamsi’s tweets and then gave a very subtle reply.

After criticizing Shamsi last monday, Zampa tried to clarify his tweet and said that he has no problem Shamsi celebrating but he “could celebrate better”.

Zampa’s compatriot and Shamsi’s RCB teammate Kane Richardson seemed to enjoy the war of tweets between the bowlers as he posted a tweet asking Zampa to respond.

Australian coach Darren Lehmann joined the debate too and asked Shamsi to concentrate more on his bowling.
