Twitter war turns ugly; Venkatesh Prasad shuts down Aakash Chopra’s ‘video’ proposal

The Twitter war between former India cricketers Venkatesh Prasad and Aakash Chopra over KL Rahul has taken an ugly turn.

Aakash recently questioned Prasad’s motive over his tweets on Rahul in one of his YouTube videos. In response to this, Prasad posted a thread of six tweets accusing him of making a “vile video”, calling him “agenda peddler” and for “cleverly” misquoting him. Aakash then responded to this by inviting Prasad on a video chat to settle the debate once and for all.

“Venky bhai, msgs are getting lost in translation. You here. Me on YT. I invite you to come on a Video Chat…we can do it Live. Difference on opinions is nice…lets do it properly. I’ll not have any sponsors on it & nobody will make money out of it. Up for it? You have my number,” he tweeted.

Moments later, Prasad responded by shutting down the proposal while lashing out at Aakash again for his “agenda peddler” accusation in his video.
