<p>Indian pace bowler Ashish Nehra was recently quizzed by a sports website on the current social media rivalry between India and Bangaldesh ahead of their ICC World Twenty20 encounter tomorrow.</p>

<p><span>"You are asking this question to a wrong person because I am somebody who is on social media. I am still using my old Nokia so I am not on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I don't read newspapers," he said. Upon hearing that, the reporters present at the press conference burst out into laughter.</span></p>
<p>Nehra immeadiately began trending on the social networking site as Twitterati gave mixed reactions to his statement with some trolling him and others asking him to stay the same.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Even BCCI decided to teasing the pacer. The official twitter account of the Indian cricket board decided to have fun at the 36-year-old &nbsp;bowler's expense with the post, "Dear @virendersehwag pa, can you please get Nehra ji on social media?". Sehwag replied to the tweet with "I will try my best ."</p>
