Virender Sehwag trolls Niroshan Dickwella for 'failed high 5', fans left in splits: WATCH

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag was one of the most attacking openers of his time. The 'Nawab of Najafgarh' is regarded as one of those players that changed the dynamics of Test cricket. The 41-year-old used to deal in boundaries and sixes when he used to open the innings for India but after retirement, he has diverted his aggressive approach to social media. From witty captions to hysterical posts, Sehwag always keeps his fans entertained with his wicked sense of humour.
