Twitter alert! Darren Gough tries to pull one on MS Dhoni and gets owned

Indian captain MS Dhoni, who is currently preparing himself for the two-day boot camp ahead of the challenging home series against South Africa, took out some time to tweet about his motorbike on 27 September.

Dhoni's love for sports bikes has been well known, so when the Indian cricketer tweeted about restoring his old bike, it was well understood. "How many of u agree this was 1of the most exciting 2stroke single cylinder bikes to ride,need to restore mine quickly," the right-handed batsman tweeted yesterday.

Amid a lot of replies from Dhoni's fans, a tweet by former England bowler Darren Gough stood apart. The 45-year-old English cricketer tried to pull Dhoni's leg by posting a picture of his Ducati and claimed, "not as good as this."
