On Wednesday, it was Lucknow Super Giants spinner Krishnappa Gowtham, who criticised Swiggy for poor customer service.
“I’ve had the absolute worst experience with @swiggy_in @SwiggyCares. My order #134669736448 was placed at 9:45pm and I still haven’t received the order. At 11:35pm I finally got a response from customer support saying there’s nothing they can do. #RIPCUSTOMERCARE,” Gowtham tweeted.

IPL 2022: Shubman Gill & K Gowtham do a Cristiano Ronaldo, lash out against IPL’s OFFICIAL SPONSOR Swiggy – Check WHY?
The Ronaldo Connection: It was during the UEFA Euro 2020 when Cristiano Ronaldo was visibly annoyed with two bottles of Coca-Cola present at a Portugal press conference. He removed the bottles and gestured to the press to drink water instead. Ronaldo, a fitness freak, doesn’t endorse soft drinks as he believes it causes adverse health effects.

The American soft drinks brand Coca-Cola has been UEFA’s official sponsor for over decade. And post the Ronaldo incident, they took a hit on the stock market. Following the incident, as much as $4 billion was wiped off Coca-Cola’s market value.
