Melbourne: Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc has, inadvertently, left a message meant for Virat Kohli on a parody account of the India skipper.

Starc left the recently concluded India-Australia series mid way after sustaining a stress fracture on his foot.

Starc, who was congratulating Kohli for the series win mixed his real account to the parody one.

He wrote on twitter, "Hey friend :) Hopefully I don't have to look for a new ipl team?? Haha media hey!

Didn't get a chance to have a proper catch up mate but Congrats on the series win and on your summer personally, I hope that shoulder is on the mend and not too bad. Good luck for the ipl, here’s hoping to an RCB win. Cheers mate."

Here the complete conversation b/w @mstarc56 & me as everyone wants to know my reply to @mstarc56 @BrokenCricket @cricketaakash @SirJadeja pic.twitter.com/v5m6WvQ6Ea

The tweet soon went viral, leaving Starc a bit embarrassed.

India bagged Border-Gavaskar trophy 2-1 after winning the fourth and final Test by eight wickets.

The left-hand fast bowler who has been a part of Royal Challengers Bangalore side earlier, decided to leave Indian Premier League's 10th edition while RCB skipper Kohli is also out of the cash-rich league for two weeks after sustaining a shoulder injury during the third Test match between India and Australia in Ranchi.
