5. When he trolled both Michael Phelps and Bappi Lahiri
Veteran singer Bappi Lahiri is known for the amount of gold he carries on his body. When in 2016 Olympics, USA swimmer Michael Phelps won his 22nd gold medal, Sehwag tweeted that he was giving tough competition to Bappi Lahiri.
“Michael Phelps only man likely to beat Bappi Lahiri. #GoldKiBarsaat,” he wrote.
6. When he explained the problems of a married man
In the New Zealand tour of 2016, Ravichandran Ashwin won his 7th Man of the Series award. Sehwag congratulated him but in a humorous way as the match ended quite early.
He trolled by saying that only a married man knows the urgency of getting back home fast. While Ashwin laughed it off, his wife Prithi Ashwin and Sehwag’s wife Aarthi Sehwag claimed to be innocent.
“Congrats @ashwinravi99 for an incredible 7th Man of the series. Only a married man can understand d urgency of going home early. #FamilyTime,” it was written in the tweet.
