Ouch! Virender Sehwag trolls Rohit Sharma on his birthday
Sehwag doesn't hold back when it comes to trolling cricketers.
Mumbai: India opener and Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma turned a year older on Saturday.
Rohit celebrated his 29th birthday with his wife Ritika Sajdeh and teammates from MI. The ‘Hitman’ was flooded with birthday wishes although some of them took a light dig at him.
Happy birthday love of my life @ImRo45 thank you for coming into my life &making it better than I could ever imagine pic.twitter.com/njKhRfUKt9

One of the interesting wishes comes from former India opener Virender Sehwag. The ‘Sultan of Multan’, known for trolling other cricketers, decided to troll his junior teammate. Sehwag started off with a proper birthday wish and also wished for Rohit to break his Test record of 319 runs.
Proud of the man @ImRo45 who broke my ODI record of 219 with d magical 264

Incidentally, Rohit had broken Sehwag’s record for the highest individual score in an ODI. Sehwag held the record for his 219 against West Indies and Rohit blew it away with a massive score of 264 against Sri Lanka.

Sehwag doesn’t hold back when it comes to trolling cricketers. Recently, during the World T20, Sehwag had taken special liking to former Pakistan bowler Shoaib Akhtar and had trolled him voraciously.
Many players wished Rohit. Here are some of them:
