Hey Viru!
So, you finally gave up, eh? I knew god will punish you and send you in oblivion; your country-men would forget, and you will get balder day-by-day; Is there anybody reading your tweet? It was me who was waiting for this day like ‘Chatura Ramalingam‘ in the movie ‘three idiots’. I knew someday you would fail Seahhhhwaggggg. Huh!
Remember when I castled you the very first day. I bet you don’t, because you never chased dreams. Never looked back. What do you think? Are you Sachin Tendulkar? You only told he is the ‘baap’ and you can never match his…….I think you said ‘bank balance’…whatever. You can only be an imposter like Chaaanchaddd. You can never match him.
A ball is there to hit, eh? Uska ghar boundary hai. Who gave you reasons to say that? A ball is there to defend, to slowly nudge, to flick a bit, and rarely to pull or hook. When a pacer with bouncing hairs comes running to you with fiery eyes, just duck yourself or pray for safety. And that too the quickest on earth. Learn to respect Viru!
I heard you only thought in 4s and 6s. Both you and Sachin were big-time duffers in school. Count 1, 2, 3…. Heard of these numbers? You Jat of Najafgadh! See, Sachin has learnt it so well. But you? So incorrigible you are!
And by the way, do you know the difference between test and one-day? Haven’t you learnt from your great ancestors? Oh! Whom am I talking to? This man gets close to Vinu Mankad-Pankaj Roy record and when asked about, he says “never heard of them”. Before even holding the bat, you should have known the history, and how to play test match. Its an upbringing problem that you played tests as ODI, and ODI as some gully-cricket. There was never a window to smash in Multan or Lords, and you kept hitting. Stupid!
Let me tell you one more thing. You are a bad singer, and on top of it, you do this cheap road-side romeo whistling in a tense situation. Why don’t you better play antakshari? I will beat you like anything. If you are Sultan of Multan, I am Begum Rawalpindy.
Will drop by in Najafgadh next time I am in Delhi. Yeah! I keep coming in shiv sena-free areas.
Some say Nehru feared Bose would return. I don’t know about that. But, I always feared you will return.
Thank god you retired Sehwag

Most entertaining till date……
Extremely entertaining!
Brilliant analogical use of metaphors!
Though not much into cricket and cricketers…just enjoyed the write up….
Such a hilarious piece π every bit of it is so true π Glad he retired π
Well written mate! For a man who changed the way India played cricket, I didn’t want to dwell on his last few unsure innings.. His bespectacled look. The already non existent footwork (never mattered really) looking even more extinct. He surely used to make my day with every inning he played.. A rollercoaster ride of emotions…
I’ve just finished reading this piece the third time and it still made me laugh like the first time. It also made me nostalgic. All those cuts over third man, sigh.
Great humour bhai. Brilliant post.
Hahahahaha. All credits to the great Viru and his feel-good and funny memories. Jai ho!
Sarcasm at the level of viru..οΏ½πππππππππ πποΏ½πππππππππππππππππππππππππππππaaaaaaaaaa
Punniest. π
Nice tribute to Nawab of Najabgadh..
A well-written satire! But my writing is a bit different!
Brilliant…never taken cricket so light heartedlyπ
…I think you like Sehwagπ
You must be lucky you took him out around 300 times even before he scored a 50. Lucky you. It’s a huge success Mr. Bowler π Good Blog.
Oh yes! Both him and the so called ‘baap’ made me a star. I love them.
π Here is my tribute to one among you, your family in fact. Please read and let me know your thoughts. https://shyapka.wordpress.com/2015/10/20/zaheer-khan-an-unsung-hero/
Ha ha. Sarcasm at its very best. Another well written post.
