Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma engage in a Twitter 'battle'

Bengaluru, March 22: Mumbai Indians found themselves in a marshy place when the IPL team's skipper Rohit Sharma showed his frustration over a team decision made public without his knowledge.

Mumbai Indians on Thursday (March 22) announced through their official twitter handle about an "exciting update" regarding the new faces joining the side ahead of the IPL.

Paltan, an exciting update is heading your way.

Prepare yourself to welcome new faces in our team. Stay tuned! #CricketMeriJaan

However, Rohit, who led India to win in the Nidahas Trophy in Sri Lanka recently, tweeted a rather terse reply saying: "What do you mean by new faces? Why don't you inform me?"

What do you mean by new faces? Why don’t you guys inform me?

Before it gets uglier, Mumbai Indians tweeted back: "Skipper, let us discuss this in the DM?"

Skipper, let us discuss this on DM.

After a few minutes, Rohit again tweeted: "I am fine with these new faces and it's really cool."

I’ve checked my DMs. I am fine with these new faces and it’s really cool. But where are my bullets? pic.twitter.com/Dv783h8lzK

Perhaps, all a bit gimmick to keep us interested ahead of an announcement.
