India’s first Test match against South Africa at the home ground was fantastic. The host has registered its first win in the three-match Test series. The team saw a good contribution from bowlers and batters. Many former cricketers appreciated the efforts of the Indian team. Virender Sehwag also tweeted and congratulated the team. But he was trolled about his tweet by a fan as he left out Ravindra Jadeja’s name in the tweet.
South African players had a good start in their first innings but the Indian bowlers Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja halted them to score runs and India had a lead of 71 runs. Later, India again set a mammoth target of 395 runs with the help of Rohit Sharma’s century. The visitors had a big target to complete on the fifth day.

Mohammed Shami bowled very well as he scalped five wickets of the visitors on the fifth day. Jadeja also bowled very well and picked four wickets. He became the fastest left-arm bowler to pick 200 Test wicket. At last, India registered the victory and got the lead of 1-0. Jadeja had a good share in the victory of India.
Virender Sehwag names every bowler in the tweet except Jadeja
Virender Sehwag wished the team through Twitter. He praised the performance of Rohit Sharma and wishes him for future in cricket. He also appreciated the contribution of Mayank, Ashwin, Shami and Pujara. But he missed the allrounder Ravindra Jadeja’s name. Jadeja was missing in his tweet which led to a fan trolling him.
Fantastic test match for @ImRo45 , a dream beginning to opening the batting in Test cricket. Wish him the very best. That was a convincing win for India with some great contributions from Mayank, Shami, Ashwin , Pujara . #IndvSA

But it came to surprise when Ravindra Jadeja retweeted the tweet of a fan. That fan asked Sehwag whether he was sleeping when Jadeja was bowling, batting and fielding.
One of the users replied quoting ”@virendersehwag kya aapke TV me @imjadeja ki #batting, #bowling aur #fielding ka performance Nahi dikha??? Ya Phir so Gaye the???,” (Virender Sehwag didn’t your TV show Ravindra Jadeja’s performance with the bat, ball and on the field? Or were you sleeping?). Surprisingly, Ravindra Jadeja retweeted it.
Not only a fan but many asked Sehwag in the comment that why he has not mentioned Jadeja.
