With the player auction for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 all set to take place soon, franchises on Tuesday engaged in hilarious banter on Twitter over the side which enjoys the best all-rounder trio.
It all kicked off when the Mumbai Indians responded to a tweet by Hardik Pandya which contained an image of the cricketer, his brother Krunal Pandya and Windies player Kieron Pollard.

"Find a better allrounder trio. We will wait," read the tweet.

However, the Mumbai Indians made a stunning comeback by posting an image of their three IPL trophies over the years, along with a thinly veined taunt at their lack of success in comparison.
