IPL 2022: RR's social media team fired after cheap dig at captain Sanju Samson, check tweets

Source: Twitter

Rajasthan Royals (RR) admin faced the wrath of its own captain Sanju Samson on Friday (March 25). 

Samson was trolled by RR's Twitter account. And it was a pretty distasteful tweet with Samson photoshopped as a girl while sitting in a bus.

The skipper, although a good sport in previous few instances, did not take it well and rather took it as an insult. 

He quote retweeted the post and wrote: "Its ok for friends to do all this but teams should be professional."

He was referring to Yuzvendra Chahal who has been posting such images of cricketers on his social media. 

RR admin got carried away and posted one too and that really backfired. 

Here's how Sanju reacted:

After this incident happened, RR management has fired the whole social media team and has said that a new team with a new digital strategy will come into place. 

In a statement released by RR, they said, "In light of today's events, we will be making changes to our approach and team on social media. Everything is well within the squad ahead of the first game as the boys prepare for SRH. The management will revisit our overall digital strategy and appoint a new team in due course. 

"We realise that it is the IPL season and fans want the account to post updates regularly. We will find temporary solutions in the interim."
