ICC trolled on Twitter after tweeting on Australia A vs India A three-day tour match
Veteran Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (R Ashwin) claimed two wickets for 58 runs from his 19 overs on Day 2. The seasoned campaigner accounted for the wickets of Marcus Harris and Nic Maddinson. Interestingly, there was a stage when the off-spinner was bowling with a cap on, thus making quite an unusual sight for cricketing fans the world over.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) decided to cash in on the opportunity as they took to their social media accounts and shared a picture of a ‘capped’ R Ashwin in action against Australia A. In the description, ICC asked their fans and followers if anyone of them has ever seen a player bowling with his cap before. Apparently, fans decided to brutally mock the apex body for their question as they responded with many players (from men’s and women’s cricket) who are known for wearing caps while bowling. Here is a look at ICC’s post and some of the most hilarious and brutal fan reactions to the same.

Geoffery Boycott used to bowl with the cap on. He also did so in a World Cup final at Lord's in 1979.
