Thiruvananthapuram: Former Indian cricketer, pacer S. Sreesanth, who is contesting Kerala Assembly Election 2016 on the Bharatiya Janata Party's ticket, put himself in the soup when he called Kerala a city.
Twitteratis immediately began trolling the BJP candidate from Thiruvananthapuram, reminding him that Kerala is a state and not a 'city'.
The change is must in Kerala Nd Iam sure It will happen this time..we can be worlds best city if we all work together..

Fed up over the trolls, Sreesanth blocked several users.
The former Indian cricketer was later embroiled in a Twitter debate with Congress MP Shashi Tharoor.
