Former India opener Virender Sehwag, on Monday, delivered a hilarious verdict on the inclusion of Ollie Pope in the England squad for the second England vs India Test.

The swashbuckling opener is known for his hilarious tweets. No matter what, the former India batsman comes up with a tweet every now and then that leaves a wide grin on everyone’s face

Just like he used to entertain fans with his explosive batting during his prime days of international cricket, Sehwag has made sure to keep them entertained even after bidding adieu to the game. It had begun with his hilarious birthday wishes for his fellow cricketers.

With the passage of time, Sehwag has ensured that he makes a comment on almost every possible issue. And trolling has been the prominent feature of his tweets.

The batting stalwart loves to play with words, uses pun and wit to make his tweets interesting for the readers. Hailed as the Twitter king, Virender Sehwag has carved his niche on Twitter with his unique and witty tweets. And, the batting legend has once again showed why he is loved so much for his tweets.

The former opener had a hilarious take on Pope’s inclusion in the England squad for the Lord’s Test as he tweeted:

“Pope likely to play for England, Should India play Pujara in the second test. ? After all it’s Lords”

Meanwhile, England are leading the five-match series 1-0. The hosts won the first Test in Birmingham by 31 runs to set the tone. Defending 194, England bowled out India for just 162. On Sunday, they dropped Dawid Malan to include 20-year old Pope in the side. Pope is yet to make his Test debut. The hosts would also miss the services of Ben Stokes at Lord’s as the allrounder is set to appear in the court for his affray trial.
