The T20 Cricket World Cup 2016 is getting more and more intense with every day and Twitter doesn’t fail to provide the much-needed comic relief in times of distress.
For every last ball thriller India is involved in, there’s a tweet like this:

And for every Hardik Pandya ball, there’s this:
THIS IS HARDIK WHERE IS JEETDIK YAAR SAHI DIK TO LAYA KARO
— Abhishek Madan (@abhishekmadan) March 23, 2016
But Twitter’s best contribution, by far, to Cricket are the fake accounts of famous cricketers.
Now these aren’t your regular match-analysis tweets, these are the tweets that you’d think famous cricketers would tweet after half a bottle of whiskey.
So here are a few hilarious tweets by fake accounts of famous cricketers:
1. @Trendulkar
Disclaimer: While this is not a direct parody account, Trendulkar is known for poking fun at cricketers in the most unforgiving way.
On match-fixing:

On India’s batting openers:
Indian team doesn’t have beer because they keep losing the openers.
— Trendulkar (@Trendulkar) March 23, 2016
Sometimes India gives free runs and other times, America does.
Abbeyar don’t give free stuff to Pakistan. We are not America.

Lala is a match-winner, for another team.
#Pak playing well. But, I trust Afridi.

If that doesn’t get one to perform, I don’t know what will.

Again, hoping Rohit Sharma doesn’t read any of this before a match.
