Virender Sehwag makes fun of Rohit Sharma-Rishabh Pant pose; leaves fans in splits

England batsmen piled on India’s misery on the back of skipper Joe Root’s 218 and Ben Stokes’ sparkling 82 to register a colossal 578-run total. Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag appears to be following the live action as he recently shared a screenshot with a cheeky one-line caption. As usual, Sehwag lived up to his comical reputation by sharing a picture of Indian cricketers Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant, when the two struck a post together to welcome England spinner Jack Leach on Day 2.
