Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag used to hit sixes and fours while batting on the field and nowadays he is hitting sixers with his tweets on the micro-blogging site. The man has been a sensation on Twitter ever since he took to the platform.
He is the ‘King of Trolls’ especially because of his unique birthday wishes for his friends, colleagues and family members. While he has always busy with the hilarious takes on fellow players on their birthday and other special occasions, on January 19 his tweet for former teammate Yuvraj Singh was truly inspiring.
Yuvraj Singh announced his comeback in style in the second match of the ongoing ODI series against England. Yuvraj scored his 14th ODI hundred and his first 150 in ODI cricket.
Inspired by his great comeback, Sehwag tweeted that:
This man has defeated Cancer.
Today,he only defeated the English bowlers.Everyone can learn not to give up.

On January 19, Both MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh turned back the clock in spectacular style as the duo put together an epic 256-run fourth-wicket partnership to help India post 381 for 6 against England in the second ODI at Cuttack.
Their innings not only gave India the much needed 381 runs total but also gave them that extra 15 runs that were ultimately required by the India team to win their 2nd ODI match and the series against England.
Sehwag also appreciated Dhoni and Yuvraj’s partnership in the match and felt that they had once again gone back to the golden years when Yuvi and Dhoni were considered one of the best finishers in the game.
Only old notes are out of circulation.

The duo was so spectacular on the field that even Raees actor Shah Rukh Khan was awestruck with their performance. He was so filled with emotions that he couldn’t hold back and took to Twitter to praise the two.
So good to see Yuvraj & Dhoni play as they r doing. Really Sheron ka zamaana hota hai…
