The upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League is just a couple of days ago and the fans just can’t wait for it. Ahead of the much-awaited tournament, former Indian cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra has been entertaining the fans with his analysis of each team for IPL 2021. Recently, Aakash Chopra analyzed the KKR squad in his latest YouTube video, however, he made a blunder and got trolled badly for it.
Chopra is currently undergoing quarantine and will be part of the broadcast team for the upcoming IPL 2021. The cricketer has been entertaining the fans with his YouTube videos, where he has been talking about the IPL 2021. Aakash Chopra, who is usually a fan favorite because of his opinions and analysis, found himself at the receiving end of trolling after he made a blunder.
Well, while analyzing the Kolkata Knight Riders squad ahead of the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League, Aakash Chopra counted Indian cricketer Sheldon Jackson as an overseas option while keeping Bangladesh’s all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan as a domestic cricketer. Twitterati was quick to notice the blunder and started trolling the former cricketer left, right, and center.
Here, check out the reactions of Twitterati on this:

Fault of editor
He marked in place of shakib— Omm prakash mishra (@_Third_Man_) April 4, 2021
Talking about Kolkata Knight Riders, the team hasn’t reached the IPL final in the last 6 years. Ever since Gautam Gambhir’s departure from the team, KKR has failed, time and again, to find the right balance and make it to the final stage.
In the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League, KKR will be led by England’s World Cup-winning skipper Eoin Morgan and the team will hope that their fortunes turn around.
