While Chawla was running past the DC batting order, Makarand Waingankar, whose Twitter bio reads PhD in cricket, Sports Journalist for over 50 years, and Cricket Management Consultant, tweeted: Delhi Capitals?
No. It’s called Delhi Capitulates. There were too many cricketing minds in the dugout, but their batsmen were clueless against a leggie who doesn’t even play for his state.
His remark, however, irritated former India wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel, who commented on the tweet, saying, That leggie is a 2 time World Cup winner with 161 ipl wickets his name is PIYUSH CHAWLA…and he does play for GUJARAT as a professional player.
Chawla, 34, was a member of the Indian teams that won the inaugural ICC World T20 in 2007 and the 2011 ICC World Cup.
Chawla’s most recent ODI appearance came during the 2011 World Cup. He made a Test comeback against England in 2012, but quickly faded into obscurity. Chawla lost his place in the shortest format shortly after the World T20 in Sri Lanka that same year.
