Former Indian pacer, Ashok Dinda has been subjected to a lot of trolls on social media in recent times. The 35-year-old, last played in the IPL in 2017 and had a pretty poor outing.

Although, Ashok Dinda has put some decent performances throughout his career, the fans only seem to remember his last outing in the IPL.

What Is The Matter?

The ongoing season of the IPL has witnessed some very poor bowling spells. Now all the bowlers who performed poorly were compared to Ashok Dinda and were said to have qualified from “The Dinda Academy”.

Matters became worse when his former team, Royal Challengers Bangalore mocked Dinda when Umesh Yadav had a good outing against Kings XI Punjab.

Actually Yadav too, was trolled for leaking too many runs, but when he returned with the figures of 4-0-36-3, RCB took a dig at Dinda and posted Yadav’s photo with the following caption: ‘Dinda Academy? What’s that?’

RCB, however, realised that they have gone a little to far and deleted their tweet. The newer version of the tweet looked something like this:

Fed up with the trolls, Dinda took to Instagram and posted a photo showing his career statistics with the following caption:

“Haters, helping you get you statistics right. Stop and stare well your opinion is not my reality. So shut your hating selves and keep me out of your mouth.”

In 115 first-class matches, Dinda has accouted for 417 wickets at an average of 28.35 and an economy rate of 3.10. In 78 IPL matches, Dinda has 69 wickets against his name at an economy rate of 8.2.
