The 11th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) is almost at its halfway stage but the buzz hasn’t dropped a bit. During the matches, the social media sites are full of wit and sarcasm with fans and cricketers expressing their opinions on various matters.
On Friday (April 27), England women cricketers – Sarah Taylor and Alexandra Hartley team up to lit up the micro-blogging site Twitter. The duo took a cheeky dig at the RCB wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock with Sarah revealing that she is supporting Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing IPL.
Replying to a fan question “which team do you like in IPL 2018?”, Sarah Taylor wrote: “@RCBTweets fan ????”.

Hartley was quick to retort and asked Taylor if she is copying her and Danielle Wyatt as they are also supporting the same franchise.
“Why are you copying me and @Danni_Wyatt ????????♀️” Hartley wrote.

To which Sarah Taylor hilariously replied: “Hey I'm keeping for @RCBTweets”.

Sarah’s response was certainly an attempt to mock de Kock, who resembles a bit like her. Hartley didn’t miss out on a chance and posted the already viral meme that compares the similar appearance of Quinton de Kock and Sarah Taylor.
