10) Mumbai Indians tweet trolling Tim Paine

”If he (Paine) gets a hundred here, I will put in a word about him to my boss at Mumbai Indians and we'll buy him. Looks like he's a fan of Mumbai." - @ImRo45 Tim Paine: c Pant b Jadeja - 26 (67) #CricketMeriJaan #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/c36xdjZRYW

Here’s the tweet to wrap up the year based on an incident in the recently concluded Test match between India and Australia. This was probably the funniest of them all. The whole thing started in the 3rd Test of the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy. Tim Paine, the Australian captain while trying to get under the skin of Rohit Sharma said that if Rohit hits a six, then he will probably support Mumbai Indians.

After the innings was over, Rohit said in a statement that if Tim Paine scores a century he might ask his boss at MI to buy Tim Paine.

The twitter handle of Mumbai Indians, which we know is very active, noted this thing. Once Paine got out in the second innings they showed no delay in tweeting about it. They tweeted a photo of Tim Paine with “Mission Failed” written on it.

It was a hilarious and fitting reply to the banter Tim Paine had been doing in the entire series.
