BCCI told to ‘ban nonsense chit business' after Akash Singh's celebration ruffles a few feathers: ‘How many haters?’

At first, it was not clear what was written on the chit. However, later replays showed that the text on the piece of paper read, “#Akkionfire – Akash knows how to take wickets in a T20 game.”

However, this piece of celebration hasn't been well received by former players such as Rayudu, Dale Steyn and Mitchell McClenaghan. Earlier, Steyn had taken to social media to say that this chit business needs to go, as no one really wants to see it.

“I just want to know at what point today he thought, ‘hey, this will be awesome, like I’ll pull this out on TV, everybody will think I’m cool. I also want to know who his friends that he told backed him up and said that would be a great idea," said Rayudu on ESPNCricinfo's ‘T20 Timeout’ Show.

“I just think that’s his manifestation, it may not go down well with a lot of people, but it’s kind of funny and a bit of rubbish. I think they should ban this chit business, absolute nonsense. I don’t think they’re supposed to bring chits anyway," he added.

“I’m actually flabbergasted with some of this generation that’s coming through, like you know, putting your fingers up on your first real performance on the IPL when you’ve only just turned up on the scene, we’ve only just learnt your name," McClenaghan said.

"It’s like, jeez, how many haters have you got, bro? You’ve played four games. I just find it all fascinating, it’s really interesting,” he added.

Speaking of Akash, he had also explained the reason for displaying a note against CSK, saying the text on the paper just gave him motivation, and there was nothing more to it than that.

“It just gives me motivation. There is no reason behind it. Whatever motivates me during the game, I’ll keep backing it,” Akash told the broadcaster.

Speaking of the LSG vs CSK game, the former came out on top by seven wickets after Mitchell Marsh played a whirlwind knock of 90.
