The former Indian batsman and one of the most sought after celebrities on social media, Virender Sehwag faced some fire after he made a comment upon the Indian blind cricket team. The Indian team won the Blind Cricket T20 World Cup on Sunday by 9 wickets after beating arch-rivals Pakistan in Bengaluru. Wishes poured in for the team from round the globe on their aesthetic final win. Sehwag too came up with wishes but his tweet was taken as a disrespect by some fans and they lashed put at the batsman.

Though the hard striker of the ball didn’t intend to update something negative on this instance, this particular tweet of his was taken into some other tangent by the fans. Sehwag was quite aggressively bashed by the supporters.

Reddy has a point, @virendersehwag! The team led by Kohli won’t be called ‘other’, right? https://t.co/RFyaPTLPMJ

Later Gaurav got a perfect reply from Sehwag when he tweeted, “@GauravPandhi Better do some research before commenting.But research &media/you don’t go hand in hand. It is their official campaign theme.”
