Royals and Sunrisers were pulling each other's leg in a Twitter conversation.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) gave an IPL twist to the latest David Warner-Ben Stokes saga. Stokes, in his book 'On Fire', revealed that it was Warner who made him perform in the Ashes.
No, he didn't coach him! Warner's chirping from behind when Stokes came out to bat in the third Test made the English all-rounder play one of the finest Ashes innings.
Rajasthan decided to trigger a banter with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Twitter on the context of Stokes' book. They posted a collage picture of Ben and Warner to wrote, "@benstokes38's book should be an interesting read."
They posted another tweet and this time tagged SRH. "Can't wait to read the book @benstokes38! Ordered your copy yet, @SunRisers?", tweeted RR.

SRH showed they have a strong banter game. Responding to the comment, they gave a strong reply. "Why don't you gift it to @davidwarner31 when he gets his 4th orange cap in #IPL2020?", they wrote.
The banter didn't stop there. Rajasthan decided to Stuart Broad into the conversation. They took a dig at Warner's poor Ashes outing when Broad made him his bunny and dismissed seven times.
But Sunrisers knew how to come back, and they responded with a picture of Yuvraj Singh holding the IPL trophy. It was a reference to how Yuvi had smashed Broad for six sixes in an over.
