Virender Sehwag congratulates 'RecordChandran Ashwin'

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag and his tweets have become a dose of humor for quite a few of his followers these days. Sehwag today congratulated Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin as he became the second fastest bowler to 200 Test wickets. Former Australian leg-spinner, Clarrie Grimmett leads the chart, having achieved the milestone in his 36th Test match. Sehwag renamed Ravi Ashwin as ‘RecordChandran Ashwin’, he wrote on the microblogging site, Twitter. “RecordChandran Ashwin. Well done on the first set of 200 wickets. Surely many more sets to go @ashwinravi99,” he wrote.
