Indian cricketer Zaheer Khan took to social media on April 24 to announce his engagement with actress Sagarika Ghatge of Chak De! India fame. Although the couple is inundated with wishes and congratulatory messages on Twitter, it’s Anil Kumble’s tweet that has generated quite a lot of buzz. While wishing them, Kumble ended up tagging Sagarika Ghose, a journalist, instead of Ghatge, thus leading to a laugh riot on the micro-blogging site.

Many Twitter users were quick to compare Kumble’s hilarious mix-up of names to the recent Snapchat-Snapdeal confusion that lead to many uniformed users giving bad reviews to Snapdeal — an Indian company — in haste. Similarly, after Sonu Nigam’s tweet on Azaan and the controversy it stirred, a bewildered Sonu Sood ended up at the receiving end of many people’s wrath on social media.

While Kumble was quick to realise his mistake and tag the right person, the official Twitter account of IPL team Delhi Daredevils did the same goof-up (before realising and deleting the tweet).
