Before the 2019 season of IPL kicks off, the teams have already started the battle off the field.
On Tuesday, Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings indulged in online banter on Twitter.
It all started with Indian cricket all-rounder Hardik Pandya tweeting a photo of himself with his Mumbai Indians teammates Kieron Pollard and elder brother Krunal Pandya.
The image was retweeted by MI who read: "Find a better allrounder trio. We will wait."
Sunrisers Hyderabad responded by sharing a picture of their all-rounder trio that comprised of Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Shakib Al Hasan with the caption: "The wait is over."
MI got back by sharing a photo of their trophy cabinet and took a dig at SRH by writing: "The wait goes on."
But CSK stole the show with their tweet with an image of its captain MS Dhoni alone and captioned it "Three faces."
The funny Twitter-exchange between the teams was loved by all online, including Pandya who dubbed MI’s trophy tweet as "thug life."
Earlier this year, Chennai Super Kings lifted their third IPL title under the leadership of MS Dhoni by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2018 final.
