Former Australia cricketer Dean Jones found a video on the Internet of an elephant roaming inside a Sri Lankan hotel. With this, he decided to troll former batsmen from the nation — Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara. However, Dean Jones got trapped as former Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene came up with an epic reply to his tweet. Sharing a video posted by a Sri Lankan user on Twitter, Dean Jones asked Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara if the elephant in the video was roaming inside one of their hotels.
“@MahelaJay @KumarSanga2 which one of your hotels is this Wild elephant trying to find a room for a kip?” Jones said in a tweet.

Former wicketkeeper-batsman Sangakkara although was a little gentle in his reply to Jones as he said: “Come experience our wildlife @ProfDeano”.
