Rajasthan Royals have sacked their social media manager after skipper Sanju Samson’s complaint who was apparently miffed with his morphed image. A tweet was put out by Rajasthan Royals this afternoon which was morphed; it showed Sanju Samson in a very funny way. Apparently, its been learnt that Samson has taken an offense and complained to the senior management. He also unfollowed the RR’s official twitter handle following all of this.
“Its ok for friends to do all this but teams should be professional.” Samson wrote and unfollowed the account. After all the hullabaloo, RR deleted the tweet. However, reports are now emerging that Samson have complained to the senior management and they might fire the one who has been looking after their social media accounts. Rajasthan Royals deleted the tweet after Sanju’s response. Speculations are rife that Sanju Samson has also unfollowed RR on Twitter. The original tweet by the RR official Twitter account was immediately deleted. The edited photo of Samson was captioned, "kya khoob lagte ho." Replying to Samson's tweet, Ravichandran Ashwin also asked for 'change.'
