In the birthday tweet, Sachin mentioned Sehwag as LALA. Everyone who read Sachin’s tweet has got a doubt what LALA means?
Maybe Sehwag was asked about the reason behind the nickname LALA, he replied saying:
Thank you God ji 🙏 https://t.co/wdXtdNekUY

“You people must be wondering why ‘Godji’ calls me ‘Lala.’ It’s because I look like Lala first of all. Like the ‘fat baniyas’ or maybe because of my habit of keeping count of everything while batting. How many runs I made, how many boundaries and sixes I hit. Maybe that’s why he calls me Lala.”
The entertainment factor in cricket went much higher from the day the dashing batsman entered the International cricket. His batting was all about slamming the bowler into the crowd. He never spared anyone and all bowlers were equal in his eyes.
After his retirement, all his fans felt sad about the end of Sehwag’s cricket career but once Sehwag entered the social media, he resumed the entertainment and now rules Twitter platform just like the way he ruled the bowlers.
