Sreesanth Calls This Cricketer ‘Two Faced’
Feb 04, 2017, 18:19 IST
An ugly war of words broke out on micro-blogging site Twitter between former cricketers Sreesanth and Aakash Chopra. It all started when a tweep asked Chopra's opinion on Sreesanth’s comeback.
Chopra tweeted, "He is eligible to play, but any cricketer who has been involved in spot-match-fixing scandals should not be given a comeback. It is not right to bring back those who sold the game and their country for personal gains."
But his comment irked Kerala pacer and then came a flurry of tweets between the duo in which Sreesanth called Chopra being two-faced.

Sreesanth's career took a jolt after he was caught for spot-fixing in 2013 while playing for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League.
The bowler iterated that he has been given clean chit by the court and will play for his country soon. He further added that it will be interesting to see Chopra's commentary over his bowling. To this, Chopra wished him good luck.
Here are the chain of tweets:
