Mistakes are a part and parcel of a person's life. Any person can make mistakes. However, some mistakes end up becoming hilarious. One such mistake was done by a veteran cricket journalist while discussing India's squad for the Asia Cup 2022. Just like any sports or cricket-related channel, this famous YouTube channel was also discussing the squad after its announcement on August 8.

While discussing the squad, the veteran journalist called the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravi Bishnoi, and Axar Patel as pacers in the team. In reality, Ashwin (off-spinner), Jadeja (left-arm spinner), Bishnoi (leg-spinner), and Patel (left-arm spinner) are spinners. One Twitter user edited that four-second clip and posted it on the micro-blogging website Twitter. The video is going viral with more than 32000 views and 1247 likes as of now.

However, the veteran journalist realized and corrected his mistake immediately.

Meanwhile, as the video has gone viral, the netizens have been trolling the journalist and his team right, left, and centre. Notably, this is not the first time he had a slip of tongue. Ahead of the Indian T20 League 2022, he had called Sheldon Jackson an overseas player in the league. On the other hand, the fans reminisced about the video that the same YouTube team shot.

Apparently, some of them were trying to analyze the defence of Virat Kohli. The users made fun of the team for that as well. Talking about the Asia Cup 2022 squad, Ashwin has been included in the squad. He was part of the team in the T20I series against the West Indies as well.
