In the threat of coronavirus, the world has gone standstill. Many cricket series/tournaments have been postponed, including the Indian Premier League (IPL), which has been suspended until April 15. The cash-rich league was scheduled to start o🍸n March 29.
The current situation has allowed quite a few cricketers to engage with their fans on social media.
New Zealand speedster Mitchell McClenaghan, ওwho plays for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, also interacted with his fans as he ran a Q and ℱA session on Twitter.
During this session, a fan asked the pacer ‘Who is his favourite player in the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise?’.
The Kiwi fast bowler responded to the question and revealed that his favourite player of the franchise is Ben Cutting. The Australian all-rounder played two seasons in 2016 and 2017. In the following year, Cutting joined Mitchell’s side Mumbai Indians.
