Shikhar Dhawan the opening batsman of Team India and an oft writer on Twitter the micro-blogging website sent out a tweet September 23 saying someone hacked his account. Playing for Asia Cup 2018 currently going on in United Arab Emirates, Dhawan addressing readers as friends wrote on twiter.com that they should overlook any messages they might get from his account presently because his account got hijacked, however, that it had been regained properly.

 

And though nothing is still known about the wordings of the hacker's message, yet to the joy of Rashid Khan the opener of Indian cricket squad clarified the issue. Rashid tweeted that he got the said message but he was saved. Rashid's tweet followed as his reaction to Dhawan's tweet.

Following Gambhir's account falling prey to hackers, the latter issued messages to some famous people, notably Adam Gilchrist who was both batsman and wicket-keeper for Australia team, Chitrangada Singh a Bollywood actress as well as Kumar Sangakkara erstwhile Sri Lankan cricketer. Following restoration of their accounts on the social networking site, Gambhir and Gilchrist pin on hopes of winning matches for their teams.

 

Also following restoration of Gambhir's account, the cricketer too tweeted cautioning about hackers possibly getting certain personal information from all the others' compromised accounts. Sports.ndtv.com posted this, September 23, 2018.
