Doull, who’s currently serving in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as a broadcaster, decided to hit back at the troll with a sarcastic response.

In his tweet regarding the same, Simon Doull wrote: “Hmmm. Should I accept or block. Can’t believe I still get work if I am so bad. Hope your amazing at your job who ever you are. Maybe come out from hiding behind a fake name and we can have a chat about our jobs.”
