Last afternoon, a prominent sports administrator in India wished the country's apex court "all the best" in a video message on Twitter that has gone viral.
Now, why is this striking? Surely there's nothing absurd in a good luck wish.
Unless it is what it is.

Not only that, the Court also sacked the BCCI's top brass for being too old to run the organisation.
Not one to relent, Thakur took to Twitter and shared a curt reaction that included the much-shared line: "Supreme Court judges feel that BCCI could do better under retired judges. I wish them all the best."

His sarcasm seemed to have resonated with the people of India, who are generally clued into all things cricket.
They are not only surprised by the SC's interference in sports administration, but have also pointed out the flawed premise of the sackings.
