James Anderson joined the 600 wicket club during day five of the third Test match which was played between England and Pakistan which ended with a draw. Many cricketers including Shoaib Akhtar, Virat Kohli,  Irfan Pathan and others congratulated the English pacer on social media for the feat. Now India’s KL Rahul also joined the bandwagon and trolled himself while congratulating the pacer and said he was also one of 600 wickets. However, the tweet did not stay on Kings XI Punjab captain's timeline for a long time. James Anderson Becomes First Pacer to Scalp 600 Test Wickets: Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh Lead Cricket Fraternity in Congratulating the Legendary England Bowler.

KL went on to delete the tweet within a few minutes of posting it. But the damage had been done and the snapshot of the tweet had already been taken by the media houses. Instead, a few minutes later he posted a tweet with James Anderson and labelled him the GOAT. Check out the snapshot of the old tweet and then the new one.
