Clumsy Twitter marketing by BCCI

Probably done at a player agent level.  Some random mix of American sports "stars" from baseball, football, basketball, UFC tweeting directly at desi cricketers.  I mean there's no way Ajinkya Rahane knows eff-all about the Mets pitcher with scandanavian roots.  Just silly.

lol there are some tweets from Cain Velasquez and GSP. Weird. I am 100% sure they think of cricket as some small insect..only.

 They paid a bunch of no name American athletes, you think they could have gotten someone with at least somewhat of a global footprint like Lebron.

The tweets are clearly ghost-written.  So fake in today's day and age. 

As far as "stars", there are some decent ones in there - I'm surprised Nike wasn't able to get more of its guys involved.  Looks like most of the guys are repped by Relativity Sports Agency.

I looked these guys up: http://www.forbes.com/companies/relativity-sports/ , it looks like the agency represents some big American athletes. If BCCI wanted to promote this in America, there are a number of big athletes they could've paid. Looks like this was done more to impress the domestic market.

 

Edit: They didn't even pay people to make sensible tweets
