Ahead of their first game in the tenth season of the Indian Premier League against Kolkata Knight Riders, Gujarat Lion’s two most terrific players—James Faulkner and Brendon McCullum—had a healthy but yet funny trolling session on the Twitter. It was started by Faulkner though and the way it was carried out was not only one of the classic conversations between both the national neighbours but also showed the kind of leg pulling cricketers could do.
James Faulkner took to his Twitter account and posted a picture of himself with McCullum inside the GL team bus and wrote,”Just running @Bazmccullum through the time I blew his off peg out…..”

Now to this post, Baz replied,”I dont remember playing against you!!!???”

Next, Faulkner, either being confused or being innocent, wrote,”I do…
29/3/15…..”
@Bazmccullum I do
29/3/15…..— James Faulkner (@JamesFaulkner44) April 5, 2017
And then came a picture appeared on Mccullum’s nad Faulkner’s Twitter account was simply hilarious.

To this post, Faulkner played a wise but yet another innocent move and put another post.

Finally, the conversation was ended by Brendon then who did it in style and the entire thought exchange clearly described that Faulkner failed to handle former Kiwi skipper’s wittiness at all.
@JamesFaulkner44 Agh good work mate. That helps! I did think it was strange that an actor was running drinks for Aus. pic.twitter.com/j6HcltII8V
