Twitter drama post the IPL 2023 auction!! What do you do when the Mumbai Indians sign you, but you already play for Arsenal FC. Such is the story of Cameron Green. Not the cricketer. But a young and upcoming footballer who plays for Arsenal. Unfortunately, he found himself at the wrong end of tags and trends, when the team from Mumbai signed his namesake!!
Not often do 2 people have the same name. However, when they do, Social Media often becomes a funny place. This was the case with Cameron Green, which is not just the name of an Aussie all-rounder. But also of a 23-year-old English footballer!! He is a defender and mainly plays as a left-back.
That is why, when the IPL 2023 auction took place and the Mumbai Indians did sign him, the footballer received tags and messages that would have surely confused him. After realizing what had happened, he sent out a Tweet!!
Very happy to sign for the Mumbai Indians today in the IPL auction 👏🏽😂 #IPL2023Auction 🏏

The Tweet Went Viral Post The IPL 2023 Auction And Many Fans Kept Retweeting It
Well, the fans would want both players to do well. They are in two top teams in two brilliant leagues. Though the Aussie will be a first-team player, the Englishman will want to make a name for himself at the senior level. It will not be easy for him with the Gunners on top of the Premier League table at present.
Most of the stars are performing really well at present and the team has a good bonding. The balance is also just perfect at present. With that being said, consistency is the key in both cases.
The IPL 2023 tournament will attract even more noise than the previous tournaments. Big money has been splashed on some top foreign players already. Keeping that in mind, it could be one epic tournament and the evaluation of the competition is going up day by day.
It’s Always Fun To Pretend To Be Someone Else Just For Some Time!!
When the fans are talking about a certain player, who shares the same name as YOU, it is always good to roleplay. Just go along with the trends and have a laugh at the end. That is what most stars tend to do most of the time. Social Media can be a funny place and it is always good to have a laugh with your followers.
We have seen such things happen previously too (not just in the world of sport), though most players would want their name to be immortalized. And not their namesakes. However, this is just a funny way to have a laugh for everyone!!
A great day for the fans and the IPL 2023 tournament is due to start in the next few months. On the other hand, Arsenal will want to keep the momentum going and win the league after almost 2 decades (2004). At the end of the day, this was just a BIG W for all sports fans, as we all know Social Media, and Twitter in particular, can be ruthless at times!!
