Virender Sehwag’s funda in cricket has been pretty straight forward. See ball, hit ball. There isn’t much thinking involved and that has probably made him who he is today. A legend. When he used to hit ’em, they used to stay hit. I think that’s the mantra he follows in life too, or at least on Twitter. See news, tweet news.
Don’t get me wrong, some of his tweets are so funny that they will floor you. But some are just out there because, why not?
Having said that, here are 10 times Sehwag won our hearts on Twitter even after hanging up his boots:
1. Now that’s a winner!
When you have a performer like AshWin,
You Win and also do Ash. Congratulations@ashwinravi99 on having an outstanding match, great win G N— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) July 24, 2016
2. He wished, respected and trolled Pakistan’s cricket legend, Zaheer Abbas, in the same tweet.
Happy Bday Zaheer Abbas Sir.It is true that when he batted against India,we used to say Zaheer “Ab Bas” kar, also Sunny G’s only test wkt.

3. Speaking of trolling Pakistani’s, he couldn’t leave behind his frenemy, the Rawalpindi Express.
