Brad Hogg trolled on Twitter for picking RCB over CSK as favourites to win IPL 2020

Brad Hogg conducted his customary #AskHoggy session where he answers the questions that his fans shoot at him. A Twitter user asked Brad Hogg which team according to him can win the IPL 2020 title. In reply, Hogg picked Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore as the favourites to win the IPL 2020 trophy.

Notably, Brad Hogg snubbed the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), one of the most successful teams in the history of the IPL. The Chennai-based franchise remains the only team to have qualified in all the playoffs of the IPL, which is why Hogg ignoring CSK came as a surprise to many netizens. However, after Hogg disregarded CSK, the fans of the franchise took to Twitter and mocked the Australian international for choosing Virat Kohli's RCB over MS Dhoni's CSK as favourites to win the IPL 2020.  Several reactions poured in as Hogg was trolled for his choices.
