Things heat up! R Ashwin takes match-fixing jibe at Herschelle Gibbs in Twitter fight
Mumbai: Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin and former South Africa cricketer Herschelle Gibbs were involved in a social media fight on Monday.
The Tamil Nadu cricketer had posted a video on Twitter, where he was promoting a new Nike shoe product.
Hey Guys! Just got my hands on the new NIKE React. It’s got a stunning design and the foam technology used makes it light and comfortable to use. Undoubtedly, the best running shoes I’ve stepped into, can’t wait to flaunt them.

Ashwin was a part of Virat Kohli-led India team which lost the Test series to South Africa in the rainbow nation 2-1. While that was the recent series he played in white jersey, he was last seen donning the blue jersey back in July last year, when India played West Indies in a Twenty20.
