Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months (we do hope not), you may have witnessed Virender Sehwag owning Twitter regularly and quite spectacularly so. And we decided to stitch together a compilation of Viru’s delightful Twitter banter for our readers.
Ever since the Nawab of Najafgarh graced the pitch with his presence, pulverized bowlers with this willow and earned his title, Virender Sehwag is loved all over the country.
Post retirement and a brief sabbatical, the Nawab of Najafgarh is back for a second innings. Twitter is now his stadium, his sense of humour is just as deadly as his strokes (his famous upper cut has been replaced by his Twitter birthday wishes) and his followers now outnumber his prolific batting statistics.
Here are some of Virender Sehwag’s golden ramblings that tickled our funny bone;
