Tweets of the week: #RIPTheGreatest
Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali passed away at the aged of 74, and cricketers tweeted their thoughts about ‘The Greatest’, with India’s players particularly vocal on social media.
Ali died in hospital after being admitted with a respiratory problem earlier in the week. He had suffered with Parkinson’s for nearly half his life, and will be remembered for his battles both inside the ring and out.
