Virender Sehwag clarifies his ‘Vada Pav’ tweet.
Taking to Twitter once more, Sehwag stated that his ‘Vada Pav’ reference was for Mumbai and that Rohit’s fans should relax and not be concern.
“The Vada Pav allusion is to Mumbai, a city that thrives on Vada Pav. Rohit fans, thanda lo, I am a much bigger fan of his batting than most of you.”
Sehwag’s initial reaction was also a result of Pat Cummins going ballistic in only 15 balls.
The Australian pacer for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had turned the game on its head with a 14-ball fifty, which helped his team win their third match of the season by five wickets.
In the process, Cummins equaled the IPL record for the fastest half-century, which he now shares with KL Rahul.
The knock was met with applause from all quarters, including Sehwag.
