Twenty-three-year-old leg-spinner Adam Zampa has provided fresh hope for Australia with his leg-spin. Not only his action is very similar to the legendary Shane Warne but also he has impressed in his limited outings and has earned himself an Indian Premier League (IPL) contract with the MS Dhoni-led Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS).
On Friday, RPS played Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at Pune. Though Zampa did not play the game, he decided to troll his Australian teammate Kane Richardson, who was a part of the victorious RCB camp. Early in the match, RCB skipper Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers once again laid the foundation for the win. While Kohli scored 80, AB smacked a quick-fire 83.
Post RCB’s victory, Richardson paid a tribute to the two batting superstars when he posted:
Fairly lucky to get to watch these 2 up close every game. #appreciated pic.twitter.com/KqSydMHlDh

Zampa decided to troll (might sound arrogant too) his teammate as he replied:
@KaneWRichardson who are they ??

Richardson had an apt reply for his fellow Aussie mate.
@zamps63 ask Ishant.

Ishant Sharma, Zampa’s RPS teammate was at the receiving end on Friday. He bowled four over for 47 runs and hit all around the park by Kohli and de Villiers.
Zampa was lucky to be cooling his heels in the dugout and hopefully, he has learned a lesson here.
