‘Hope followers have increased’: Kieron Pollard calls out Aakash Chopra, later deletes tweet

Former West Indies captain Kieron Pollard put out a tweet on Thursday tagging commentator and former India batter Aakash Chopra, asking the latter his “fan base and followers” have increased. Interestingly, Pollard went on to delete the tweet not long after it had gone out. The reason behind Pollard’s tweet was not clear but it may have something to do with Chopra’s criticism for the Mumbai Indians all-rounder’s below-par show in the recently-concluded IPL 2022.

“Hope the fan base and followers increased @cricketaakash… keep it flowing .. #t20.!!” said Pollard in the deleted tweet.Chopra had been criticial of Pollard on a number of occassions in what was a forgettable 2022 Indian Premier League season for the Mumbai Indians.
