The twitter handle of Chennai Super Kings tweeted a picture of Sachin Tendulkar and Suresh Raina which received backlash from the social media users.
It was the caption ‘Ramesh and Suresh’ which drew ire of the netizens for several reasons.
Although CSK posted a light-hearted tweet and meant no harm while posting the picture of the CSK batsman and Mumbai Indians mentor Sachin Tendulkar, most of the users felt the caption compared the both. Twitterati trolled CSK for trying to draw comparison of anyone with Sachin Tendulkar, “God of Cricket.”

@ChennaiIPL This type of joke is not accept in any kind. It is not the right way of joking. @sachin_rt is a legend for us and his father should be respectable for all of us. @ChennaiIPL should be apologize for that. @abpnewstv
