Ravindra Jadeja gets roasted on Twitter for lashing out at a fan who called him Ajay

What's in a name? Said the bard. He was lucky, Ravindra Jadeja wasn't around that time.

The Saurashtra all-rounder was offended when someone referred to him as 'Ajay' instead of 'Ravindra ' Jadeja after one of the Tests against Sri Lanka. And the cricketer made his ire public on social media. Why, the cricketer also called that particular individual stupid and gavaar (illiterate).

“Someone came to me and said“well ball ajay. you bowled brilliantly in last match”.played 9 years of international cricket for country and still ppl dont remember my name.#stupidity #gavaar,” Jadeja tweeted on Friday morning.

Here's his tweet

But not many Twitteratis were happy about Jadeja getting offended about such a minor thing, especially going on to call that individual “stupid” and “gavaar”.

One certain Vini (@v8smith8) said: “Its not #Stupidity of that person. In fact, it means you didn't perform or outshine on that level, which would force people to remember your First name. I am not sure, but that person must have confused you with the legend Mr. #AjayJadeja. #NotGavaar #DonotBeOverSmart.”

Ankur‏ (@ankurmittal009) called the Saurashtra cricketer cocky. “I agree with you. It manifests RJ’s cockiness. Whoever called him Ajay might have made a genuine slip of tongue error. He got offended that shows his arrogance. I am sure Tendulkar or Sehwag wouldn’t have taken any offence purely bcoz they r grt and he is far from being grt.”

It doesn’t go down well with fans when cricketers gets offended about little issues, especially if he has played a decade of top flight cricket. Keep calm, Mr Jadeja.
