VVS Laxman becomes victim to Virender Sehwag's trolls

Hindi commentary, which has lost its zing, suddenly has regained its popularity, thanks to former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag’s comic presence in the Commentary box. Sehwag has unleashed his witty side on his fans. Anyone who is on Twitter will know the kind of presence he has there. He has shown the impeccable quality of not missing any birthday or special occasion.

Such is his popularity that fans now eagerly wait for him to wish celebrities on important occasions in his trademark style. But irrespective of the platform, Viru never fails to entertain his fans. Yesterday, fellow commentator VVS Laxman became a victim of trolls by the Nawab of Nazafgarh on numerous occasions.

It all started when Sehwag asked Laxman what was his biggest regret from his playing days. The stylish Hyderabadi batsman said that it was a great pleasure for him to have represented the country for 16 years, where he got to play more than 100 Tests and he was very satisfied and had no regrets.

Viru was not satisfied with the diplomatic answer he hot from Laxman. So, tried a different approach to get an answer.

“VVS, I always wanted to score 400 runs in an innings in Tests. While I was batting at 319 (against South Africa in 2008), I had the opportunity. This is one thing I regret not being able to do. I am not like you where I would give a diplomatic answer and not reveal my biggest regret. I know it as you talked about it frequently,” Sehwag said.

“Why ask such a question when you already know the answer Viru,” Laxman replied.

Later on in the day, the discussion shifted towards fastest Test tons scored by Indian batsman. The broadcasters even played one of Laxman’s innings in Australia, where he consumed 114 deliveries for his century – his fastest in whites. Sehwag, who is ranked third in the list of fastest Test centuries by Indian batsmen (78 balls), trolled Laxman once again.

He jokingly said, “When we talk about fastest centuries, the batsman is supposed to have scored it in less than 100 balls.”
