Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019, Mumbai Indians, SunRisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings were involved in banter on Twitter.

In response, the SunRisers Hyderabad posted a picture of their all-rounders Shakib Al Hasan, Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan and said, "The wait is over!"
The war of words further went ahead when the three-time IPL Champions Mumbai Indians posted a picture of their three trophies and said, "The wait goes on."
