While cricket is a serious business, players look for a fun time off the field. With the advancement of social media and the ease of accessibility to everyone, cricketers try to be as witty as possible. However, not everyone gets to leave their impressions on people. A few of them always have their A-game on when it comes to entertaining people. Here are some of the cricketers and ex-cricketers who never fail to take the internet on a laughter ride.

The players from New Zealand are well regarded for their composure and for upholding cricket's reputation as a "gentlemen's game". Jimmy Neesham, while staying true to the New Zealand reputation, never forgets to showcase his witty side on the internet.

The well-known Kiwi all-rounder is quite active on Twitter and never fails to amuse his followers. One of his running gags on Twitter is about New Zealand losing to England in the 2019 World Cup Final on the basis of boundary count. The incident was controversial when New Zealand failed to lift their maiden World Cup.

Ravichandran Ashwin is one of the most aware cricketers on the field. While he frequently makes headlines for his actions on the field, he also uses the internet to demonstrate his intelligence. The all-rounder has a very underappreciated sense of humour.

In the Indian T20 League in 2020, when Ashwin moved to Delhi, he posted a warning on the internet asking all batters to remain in the non-striking crease when he comes up to bowl. He was serious when he gave the Mankadeing warning, but it made for a funny moment for the fans.

The former English Captain Michael Vaughan is very active on the micro-blogging site Twitter. When England's opponents lose or play poorly against them, he is always quick to think of humorous ways to taunt them.

He is always up for friendly banter with players and cricketers from across the globe. One of his most famous banter is with India's former opener Wasim Jaffer. The two always come up with ways to troll each other on Twitter.

While cricketers from across the world have a lot of respect for each other, friendly banter always has provided entertainment. Wasim Jaffer and Michael Vaughan's humorous dialogue exchangeย often draws a lot of attention.

The finest of their exchanges occurred after Australia recently defeated England in the Ashes in 2021โ€“2022. Wasim Jaffer used the opportunity presented by the visitors' humiliating 4-0 series loss to poke fun at Vaughan. He even went to the extent of making videos and posting them.

The former Indian Cricketer and opening batter Virender Sehwag was always up for some fun on the field during his playing days. He used to sing Bollywood songs and have fun while playing on the field. When he retired from the game, the entertainment was guaranteed to continue.

The seasoned cricketer turned into a broadcaster and a commentator and gave his audience a good time. He also became very active on Instagram and Twitter post-retirement. The 43-year-old always keeps posting memes in cricket's context and entertaining his fans.
