Cricketer-turned-politician in Kerala, Sreesanth, was trolled on Monday for getting the geography of his own state horribly wrong.
His tweet calling Kerala a city has made him an object of public ridicule particularly on social media platform with people question his merit to contest election with such poor knowledge of his home state.
Sreesanth had tweeted, “I’am sure we will make the difference..lots of youngsters have started to join Bjp Nd working really hard to c the change.. The change is must in Kerala Nd Iam sure It will happen this time..we can be worlds best city if we all work together..(sic)”
Iam sure we will make the difference..lots of youngsters have started to join Bjp Nd working really hard to c the change ..

This prompted twitter users to start poking fun at him. Faced with huge criticism, the former India bowler clarified that he what he meant was Thiruvananthapuram and not Kerala when he wrote ‘city.’
But that didn’t stop his critics from having a go at him.
Here’s the snapshot of how twitter users reacted;
@dhruvvijay all I meant is Tvm is gonna be the best city in the world..as Iam winning from this constituency..I will make change in Kerala
