Venkatesh Prasad vs Aakash Chopra’s social-media battle and what it says about cricket ecosystem
Dear readers,
In the last 20 days, former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad has put out 18 tweets to express his displeasure and argue about KL Rahul’s inclusion in the Test team. This includes a long thread of seven posts to throw a lasso around former Test cricketer and YouTuber Aakash Chopra, who had questioned the timing of his criticism. This KL chatter has allegations of favouritism, accusations of agenda-peddling, Chopra’s offer of a live debate and Prasad’s ‘don’t wish to engage with you’ refusal.
No Aakash, nothing is lost in translation. In your 12 minute video you have called me as an agenda peddler because it didn’t suit your narrative.
It is crystal clear. And I have made my points very clear in this Twitter thread. Don’t wish to engage with you further on this 🙏🏼 https://t.co/...
