When it comes to trolling others, there are few better than Virender Sehwag. One of the most active celebrity on Twitter, the former swashbuckling opener has carved his own niche with his witty and sarcastic posts on social media. Every now and then, the retired batsman comes up with a tweet that leaves his millions of followers in splits.
His fans desperately wait for his posts every day and just like his entertaining batting during his playing days, Sehwag never disappoints.
This time around, however, Sehwag has got a taste of his own medicine. The 38-year old trolled Emirates247.com after the news outlet put Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s picture instead of Mahendra Singh Dhoni on his retirement story. But ironically, Sehwag committed a similar mistake himself.
The tweet by Emirates247.com was about Virat Kohli replacing MS Dhoni as the limited-overs skipper. However, the news outlet put a picture of Kohli alongside Sushant Singh Rajput, who had played Dhoni’s role in his biopic, MS Dhoni- The Untold Story.

Sensing an opportunity to troll again, Sehwag posted a picture of his doppelganger with a advice for Emirates247.com. However, Sehwag mistook the news agency for the Emirates Airlines.
The Nawab of Najafgarh tweeted:“.@Emirates247 I am flying with you in a while , hope you don’t allow him to board instead of me.”
