"Elon Musk, Please Buy...": Shubman Gill Makes A Request, Tweet Goes Viral

Shubman Gill on Friday night broke the internet with one tweet that quickly went viral. In his tweet, the Indian cricketer reached out to billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, requesting him to purchase food ordering and delivery platform 'Swiggy'. "Elon musk, please buy swiggy so they can deliver on time," wrote Shubman Gill. The official support handle of the platform -- Swiggy Cares -- sent out two replies to the cricketer on his tweet, first asking him to share the details of his order via a direct message (DM).

The Swiggy Cares handle then thanked Shubman Gill, seemingly after getting a DM from the cricketer.

Elon musk, please buy swiggy so they can deliver on time. @elonmusk #swiggy
