The Tuesday morning started pleasantly when former South African cricketer Herschelle Gibbs sent a tweet saying, "Morning. Birds are tweeting so I’ll do the same and say have a good one folks."

The ace cricketer, being the friendly and interactive self, humbly replied to many of the fans comments to the post.
But things took a slight dramatic side when he posted a gif on how he felt when Twitter liked his post:

Obviously, Indian twitteraties jumped in to know if Gibbs knew about the Bollywood star, Alia Bhatt.
No idea who the lady is .. just a nice gif

As it turned out, Gibbs "didn’t know" that Alia Bhatt was an actress, and said the gif was good.

If you think that's it, of course not. Gibbs promptly responded saying, "I deal in 6s madam not fours."
