Shoaib Akhtar, Monty Panesar hail Virat Kohli's captaincy, tweeting just the same message

New Delhi: Akward, yet worth a laugh! In an absolute bizarre incident that took place on Twitter on Tuesday- two cricketers, separate account yet errorlessly the same tweet. One deleted it, the other went on with it, and only a few paid heed to it.

Pakistani speedster Shoaib Akhtar took to Twitter to praise the present Indian skipper Virat Kohli and the former one Sourav Ganguly saying that the confidence in the game that was initiated under Dada's reign has now been taken to a commendable level under the Delhi batsman. His tweet read as, " India got voice wid @SGanguly99 captaincy, but they've begun 2 roar under @imVkohli. Nice guys will only win you friends @BCCI #respectkohli." Moments later, the tweet was nowhere to be found. Probably deleted.

And then England spinner Monty Panesar tweeted exactly the same words, with just a little change. He tweeted, "India got voice wid @SGanguly99 captaincy but they've begun 2 roar under @imVkohli. Nice guys can't win matches, they only win friends @BCCI."

While there is always a possibility for their account getting hacked, few are still wondering as to what actually happened. Here is the screenshot of Shoaib's tweet which was later deleted.

Among the few who did end up replying to Panesar's tweet, did mention Mahendra Singh Dhoni's name. Regarded among the most successful Indian captain in all format, the wicketkeeper's name was indeed missing from both the tweets.
