Former India cricketer S Badrinath was one of them as he quickly took to social media to congratulate the former India cricketer. However, the post turned out to be an embarrassment for Badrinath as he was schooled by the former India cricketer WV Raman.
In his post, S Badrinath called Ravichandran Ashwin the first Tamil Nadu cricketer to receive the Padma Shri and called him a role model for the upcoming generation.
However, former WV Raman was quick to spot the mistake as he claimed that Ashwin isn't the first cricketer from the state to receive Padma Shri. Raman pointed out that Srinivasaraghavan Venkataraghavan, the legendary India spinner, was awarded the Padma Shri before Ashwin.

S Badrinath further thanked WV Raman for the clarification but the latter took another dig at the former CSK batter. Raman claimed that Badrinath was too young in 2003 to know about Venkataraghavan's Padma Shri award.
No, no..Not ignorance, like i pointed out in the thread that you would have been too young in 2003 to register the fact that Venky was given the Padma Shri..
