The Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises Rajasthan Royals (RR) and SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) are the two franchises that do not hesitate to take a dig at each other on social media. On Monday, the two IPL franchises engaged in a Twitter banter once again, this time over Ben Stokes’ new book.
England’s flamboyant all-rounder, Ben Stokes recently made headlines with the release of his new book titled ‘On Fire’. In the book, Ben Stokes has mentioned that during Ashes 2019, David Warner’s constant chirping from behind the stumps motivated him to play a match-winning innings in the third Test in Headingley.

Such a mention of Warner in Stokes’ book helped Rajasthan Royals take a dig at the Australian opener, who plays for SunRisers Hyderabad. Commenting on the same, RR tweeted: “@benstokes38’s book should be an interesting read”.

Taking one step further, Rajasthan Royals, who lifted the IPL trophy in the inaugural season in 2008, again tweeted, “Can’t wait to read the book @benstokes38! Ordered your copy yet, @SunRisers?”. SunRisers Hyderabad, who won their maiden IPL trophy in 2016 under the captaincy of Warner, without mincing any words came up with an epic reply to engage in banter.

This was not the first time these two teams were seen having a funny conversation on Twitter. Last month, these two sides were involved in a funny banter on the micro-blogging site which revolved around two Australian players David Warner and Steve Smith.

The conversation started when Smith’s IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals, responding to a picture, wrote: “@stevesmith49: Tell Dave (David Warner), I need to bat today!” Warner’s franchise SunRisers Hyderabad, seeing the mention of their veteran opener, couldn’t resist and pitched in with a cheeky response: “What better than both of them batting together”.
What better than both of them batting together 😉

The thread ended with a hilarious response from Rajasthan Royals. “Releasing him (Warner), @SunRisers?”
Releasing him, @SunRisers? 😉
