A fake Twitter account by the name of Sunil Chhetri had just in a fun way asked Jonty Rhodes who is a cricketer to teach him how to break the stumps while flying.
Indian football team captain Sunil Chhetri has been making a lot of news headlines in the recent past. The prolific strike is one of the top three active goal scorers in international football at the moment. He is next to only Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in the list.
Recently, he played his 100th international football game for the Indian team. It was a heartwarming game for the Indian side as the backdrop for the game was set up on emotional grounds with Sunil Chhetri requesting the fans to come out and support them at the venue.
The game is now done and dusted. The Indian team is looking forward to more such challenges lying ahead. When all this is going around, the social media is flooded with messages from the Indian soccer skipper. Indian Cricket team’s captain Virat Kohli has also been praised because he supported the India football team and urged people to go and see it in the stadium. He also congratulated Chhetri.
Another cricketer Suresh Raina also tweeted for him. And this time it is the former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes thought that even he will share some pleasantries with the popular Indian footballer. But all that Rhodes has managed to do is strike a conversation with a fake Chhetri account on the social media.
The conversation started with the fake Sunil account posting a picture with Jonty Rhodes. He captioned the picture pretty well and remarked that it was a pleasure meeting him. He cheekily asked Rhodes to teach him how to break the stumps whilst on the fly.
Here is the tweet:
“@JontyRhodes8 Itwas such a pleasure meeting you.When do we begin classes to learn to break stumps on the dive,” the fake account captioned the picture that it shared.
Check out the Tweet:

Jonty’s cheeky reply:
The former South African cricketer, who was renowned for ‘flying’ in the air to catch the cricket ball, was quick to respond back. He cheekily noted that there are many strikers who can teach them both to dive. However, Rhodes failed to catch the fact that the tweet had come from a fake account.
Here is what he tweeted:
Hi Sunil, I have watched a little football; and I am sure there are many strikers, not u of course; who could teach both of us to DIVE!!!!
Check out the Tweet:

When people commented on his post:

He realised his mistake and tweeted this:
I should never go through my twitter account directly after yoga - thanks everyone for setting me straight twitter.com/malhotrasaurab…
Well, sometimes even celebs misunderstand trollers and spammers to be real.
