Since the 20-20 World Cup 2022, India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin hasn't been playing a game and has been 'rested'. Currently, he is set to play in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh next month. However, the two-time World Championship winner hasn't completely shut himself from the game. Apparently, he was keeping tabs on what commentators from New Zealand and India had to say about the history of the India-New Zealand games
The right-arm bowler took to Twitter and mentioned the banter between the likes of former New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming and former India players such as Zaheer Khan and Murali Karthik. The Tamil Nadu player appreciated the banter between the former cricketers.
โQuality banter from Stephen Fleming, @kartikmurali and @ImZaheer. Flem talking about flat wickets when india come for a series to NZ and our boys reminding him about the 2002 series where Dan Vettori dint bowl a single over.#indvsnz @PrimeVideo,โ Ashwin tweeted.

While a lot of fans were appreciating his tweet, a troll tried to have a go at the 36-year-old. Apparently, the user is learned to be a Rohit Sharma fan. Meanwhile, the latter tried to troll the Rajasthan player in the Indian T20 League by saying "Anna one plate idli sambhar'. In other words, the user tried to treat the India cricketer as a waiter.
In reply, the former Punjab skipper the ITL asked 'Vada?'.
This is where it all started
Vada?
โ Ashwin ๐ฎ๐ณ (@ashwinravi99) November 30, 2022
For the unversed, Vada is a South Indian dish. However, the fans thought he was referring to Vada Pav, a famous dish from Mumbai and also used to troll Rohit Sharma's fitness standards. After this tweet, the netizens were divided into two halves. One was supporting Ashwin while others were trolling him.
This is how Twitter reacted
Ashwin Anna going hard ๐๐

In this team, all are snakes in their sleeves, all are betraying Rohit Sharma, such people should not have even been backed. No good performance, no good numbers yet. BCCI should remove such people from the team with immediate effect. @BCCI @JayShah https://t.co/to5CWeNpGr
