Virender Sehwag’s birthday tweet didn’t amuse Bishan Singh Bedi!

Virender Sehwag has become popular on Twitter with his creative birthday wishes for various cricketers around the world in recent months.

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag  has become a popular man on social media –Twitter for his sense of humour. Sehwag wishes birthday of every notable cricketer who has made a good contribution for their respective countries.

His tweets often make people break into a laugh. So, it was no surprise that the former Indian opener decided to wish legendary Indian spinner Bishan Singh Bedi in a similar manner on Sunday.

Sehwag wrote, “Hpy Bdy to a man who did not bowl, but did poetry instead. A man who cheated batsmen with a cherry in hand @BishanBedi.”

Although Sehwag used the word “cheated” which didn’t go down well with the septuagenarian cricketer who was known for his spin bowling which often bamboozles the batsmen around the world.

The tweet didn’t amuse Bedi, so he  twitted, “Thx (Thanks) Veeru..but just to clarify.I might’ve deceived batsmen in air or off wkt..but I never ‘cheated’ on Crkt ground.Cheers!”

Bedi is known for his outspoken characteristics and has been very critical of spinners who have used a significant  bend in their bowling arm to gain an advantage. He repeatedly referred to Muttiah Muralitharan as a ‘chucker” during the Sri Lankan illustrious career.

In 2007, Bedi had also taken a dig at Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh, who he felt did not bowl with a fair bowling action.

“Chucking is a bigger disgrace than match-fixing because it is done out in the open. It is the scourge of cricket and must be stopped. Harbhajan is also surviving on the 15-degree allowance. They’re having a ball, these bowlers,” Bedi had said.
