Virender Sehwag trolls Umar Akmal calls him a great talent with the bat

Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag called it a day from international cricket in October last year and like most retired cricketers opted to try his hand at commentary. And he has been a hilarious one. Taking on co-commentators he has been especially severe on the Rawalpindi express Shoaib Akhtar, Sehwag doesn’t let go a single chance of mocking him. The two though share a special bond and don’t get offended rather enjoy it.

Now, it’s not just restricted to the com box Sehwag has also made his Twitter account the medium of firing trolls at almost everyone. He has also started this trend of putting up Sehwag style birthday wishes where he correlates them to some movie, incident or even objects. He named MS Dhoni’s birthday as National Helicopter Day.

Recently Pakistan batsman Umar Akmal was in the firing line and he shot a Tweet with a picture of the batsman hugging his bats. Sehwag couldn’t resist his trolling instinct and used the caption – ‘Main to nanha Sa, Munna Sa ,pyaara Sa bachha hoon.Ek chaat 4-4 bat. A great talent with the bat @Umar96Akmal’

Main to nanha Sa, Munna Sa ,pyaara Sa bachha hoon.Ek chaat 4-4 bat.

This Tweet didn’t go down well with Pakistan fans and most of them replied with pictures of Sehwag being bowled off a Junaid Khan delivery from Pakistan’s tour of India which turned out to be his last outing for India.

We all know Umar has always been termed as a special batting talent in Pakistan but has never quite been able to realize it and perform consistently for the team. He was dropped from the team citing violation of the code of conduct as the reason. Akmal was also in controversy for talking to Pakistan bowling legend turned politician Imran Khan and complaining about being pushed down the batting order by skipper Shahid Afridi during the World T20 in India.

He has since then been out of favor and if reports are to be believed chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq isn’t very keen on having him in the squad for the limited overs series against England either.

Amid many supporting Viru over this tweet, many Umar Akmal supporters also stood in front of Sehwag and took their chance of trolling him.
