The social media and especially Twitter is an evil place. Here the trollers are always eager to pounce on anything. All they need is a little sniff to bring out their creativity and the latest example of this trend is the trophy for the Pakistan versus Australia T20I series. ICC pointed out at the design of the biscuit on the trophy and the trolling snowballed on Twitter.
ICC takes a dig at the TUC trophy unveiled by Pakistan
It all started when Pakistan Cricket Board’s official Twitter handle posted a picture of the TUC trophy. This trophy will be handed over to the winner of the 3 T20I match series played between Australia and Pakistan.
In the picture, Aaron Finch the captain of Australia’s T20 team and the Pakistani captain Sarfaraz Ahmed are seen holding the trophy.

The series is sponsored by TUC, a brand that deals with biscuits. Hence the organisers designed a biscuit on the trophy. However, this design didn’t go well with ICC’s twitter handle and the International Cricket Council trolled PCB for the bizarre design of the trophy.
It took ICC only two tweets to start the trolling trend on Twitter.

Pakistan destroy Australia in the first T2oI
In the first match of this T20 international series between Pakistan and Australia which was played on October 24, the Pakistani bowlers led the team to a massive win after routing Australia for a mere 89 runs.

Pakistan posted a score of 155 runs courtesy of Babar Azam’s composed innings of 68 not out. In response Australia lost both their openers in the first over and never recovered from that blow.
The second T20I between the two teams will be played on October 26 at Abu Dhabi.
