Soon after the retirement of England's opening batter Alex Hales on Friday, one of his fake accounts on Twitter caught limelight. Such was the post from the account that it gave rise to a fight on Twitter between the India and Pakistan fans. Hales -- who represented England in 11 Tests, 70 ODIs and 75 T20Is -- announced his retirement from international cricket with immediate effect. While the world cricket was sending heartfelt messages to the star cricketer, a fake account on his name put a farewell post taking a jibe at India.
Talking about Hales, he scored 2,419 runs at 37.79 with six centuries and 14 fifties in 70 ODIs. In 75 T20Is, he made 2,074 runs at 30.95 with one century and 12 half-centuries. In 11 Tests, he could only manage five fifties and a total of 573 runs at 27.28.
