Cricketer-turned-politician S Sreesanth, best remembered for swinging batsmen out in his peak, committed a "hit wicket" on Twitter on Monday by referring to Kerala as a city. The Bharatiya Janata Party's candidate from Thiruvananthapuram in the state's Assembly elections tweeted: "The change is must in Kerala. And I am sure it will happen this time. We can be world's best city if we all work together."

Only time will tell if it leads to potential voters "swinging" away from him.
