An error in a congratulatory tweet for Cristiano Ronaldo has turned former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh into a joke on social media. The former two-time World Cup-winning Indian all-rounder, who frequently tweets about his favorite footballers, hailed Ronaldo for scoring his historic 700th club goal in the Premier League match against Everton.

But it was Yuvraj’s choice of words that forced him to be constantly trolled on social media. He tweeted, “King is back! Form is temporary class is forever! Welcome to 700 club No7 GOAT, legend.”

It was Yuvraj’s ‘Welcome to the 700 club’ comment that created all the trouble. In fact, Ronaldo became the first player in football history to achieve this milestone on Sunday. Twitter users found fault with Yuvraj’s tweet and trolled him. Some users also pointed out the appropriate use of the phrase ‘welcome to the club.’

Fans trolled, “Welcome to 700 club una. Which 700 club you in pal?” “Welcome? Bhai Goals ka hai Runs ka nai,” “I thought he opened the club,” “There is only one guy in the 700 club,” “Welcome to the club? App already hain 700 club main?” “which 700 club are you in my good sir ?”

“Congratulations @imVkohli on your 72. Btw which match @YUVSTRONG12? Oops it’s soccer my bad Off late we are having toooooo many kinds in Social media. Bcoz in real world kings are banned and only God’s can exist” etc. 

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was again kept on the bench by Erik ten Hag but was given an early introduction due to the injury to Anthony Martial. It was already 1-1 at that stage as Anthony canceled out Alex Iwobi’s opener for Everton.
