Nowadays every popular sportsman, actor, artist and politician are using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to reach people. However, Twitter plays an important role in such cases, comparatively.
Well! when it comes to the information that is shared, as far as it is good news, bad news, and a notification, it will be fine. But, when the situation turns out into a battle of opinions, the clash of truths? then, it is absolutely not good. Such situation took place in between the detained cricketer S Sreesanth and the former cricketer and current commentator Aakash Chopra.
It has been five years since this young cricketer from Kerala, S Sreesanth is imposed with the five-year ban from International cricket on the allegations of match fixing.
Twitter was curious over Sreesanth’s comeback as the five years are about to be completed.
The discussion started with Aakash Chopra saying ‘Sreesanth might be eligible to play fitness wise but in his view, someone who is once booked in the spot or match fixing shouldn’t be allowed to represent the national team ever again. Those who put the nation and cricket at stake for their own benefits do not deserve a second chance’ in a commentary.
Later, he tweeted:
I’m a bit of a hardliner when it comes to match-spot fixing…for expunging records and setting precedents. But that’s my opinion. 🙏 https://t.co/X8OXh4KNSr

One of the netizens later shot a question to Aakash Chopra and his response made Sreesanth furious:

The chain of tweets went further:
Not two-faced. That’s my opinion and I stand by it. Never told anyone anything else. I would have the same opinion for my own brother. https://t.co/gGSLqXbZui

I didn’t use the word ‘desh drohi’ but yes, my opinion on this issue isn’t subjective. One rule for everyone. https://t.co/kooirNK4UE

I’ve always admired your cricketing skills, Sree.

In between this war of words, a fan entered and asked Aakash Chopra on why he praised Mohammad Amir on his comeback after a five-year ban as he is now criticising Sreesanth.
Aakash gave a quick reply,
Incorrect. Criticised his comeback. Appreciated his bowling. Two different things…. https://t.co/18M5lrbGnd

Sreesanth’s comeback, however, is in ambiguity, but let’s just wait and see how interesting it will be if Aakash Chopra gives commentary while Sreesanth is playing.
When coming to the morality, this conversation in public is quite clearly messed up.
