Pakistan middle-order batsman Umar Akmal was trolled on Twitter on Sunday after he congratulated David Warner's Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for winning the Pakistan Super League.

Akmal took to the micro blogging site to wish the Orange Army for winning their maiden Indian Premier League crown. He however, wrote PSL instead of IPL. SRH defeated favourites Royal Challengers Bangalore by eight runs to win the ninth edition of the IPL on Sunday.

After being trolled by the followers, he later admitted his 'mistake' and posted another tweet with hash tag #IPL2016final. Akmal also asked one of them to behave. (Also Read: India's future safe in Kohli's hands, says Warner)
