It is not very often that Virender Sehwag gets owned on Twitter. His one-liners are sarcastic, quirky and catch most of the people off guard. There are very few who manage to escape from it.

As far as fresh memory goes, only Sachin Tendulkar with his recent “Ulta” tweet and more famously English journalist Piers Morgan have managed to take the Nawab of Najafgarh by surprise.

However, one new name can be added to the list of such individuals who manage to troll Sehwag back; it’s Ross Taylor.

Crisp Reaction IN Hindi From Ross Taylor Defuses Virender Sehwag’s Pun 2 — The Wellington-based 33-year-old Ross Taylor, who has played 190 ODIs for Kiwis would be aiming to make most out of his opportunity while having a quality experience on his back after scoring 6,486 runs in 176 innings at the average of 44.12 in the 50-over format.

After playing a match inning knock a day ago at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, Taylor spread his magic on Twitter by coming up with a perfect comeback to Sehwag’s funny “Darji” remark.

The former Indian opener was happy to see Taylor play such a knock. His effort along with Tom Latham’s excellent 103 paved the way for New Zealand to chase down the challenging total of 281 set by India riding on Virat Kohli’s record-breaking century.

Taylor, however, showed off his Hindi skills to leave everyone in splits.

He tweeted: Thanks, @virendersehwag bhai agli baar Apna order time pe bhej dena so mai apko agli Diwali ke pehle deliver kardunga ….happy Diwali

But, before this final punchline, Taylor warmed up with a couple of other replies.

Has your Darji not done a good job this Diwali?

Sehwag, as expected, did not give up and followed up with another punchline – Ross The Boss.

Sure, will come up with orders from entire family . Best wishes for the next few matches before getting to the main business .

Taylor was close to hitting a century but failed five runs short of the mark. His steady approach was the pillar of the chase as Latham tried to overcome the challenge of batting in the middle order.

The two added exact 200 runs for the 4^th wickets and efficiently shoved India out of the contest. Earlier, Virat Kohli, playing in his 200^th ODI, registered his 31^st ODI century. The century was the backbone of the Indian innings after others in the batting line-up failed to put up an inspiring show.

Openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma managed to add 16 together before the former was dismissed. Sharma also could not stay for long as India lost their second wicket with just 29 on the board.

Kedar Jadhav, Dinesh Kartik, MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya all managed just functional starts before perishing away.
