IPL 2020: Fans outrage after Virender Sehwag calls Rohit Sharma 'Vada Pav'

Sehwag had taken a jibe at Rohit's weight after he missed out game against CSK.

By - 26 Oct, 2020

Former India opener Virender Sehwag was slammed by Twitterati for calling Rohit Sharma 'Vada Pav' in his post-match review of Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) match.

Sehwag also used the term 'Samosa Pav' for Saurabh Tiwary who had replaced the injured Rohit against CSK. It was a dig at their weight and physique and fitness, which their fans took offense to.

"Rohit wasn't playing. But so what if Vada Pav was injured? His spot was taken by Samosa Pav.", he said in his video. In the absence of Rohit, MI are led by Kieron Pollard for the last two matches.

The fans were not pleased with the comment made by Sehwag and there was outrage over the words used by him being an ex-professional cricketer himself.

Seriously I don't agree with it .
He is not fit ,, but he can take the bowlers with ease.
He makes a team look dangerous at the top order.????????#DisagreeWithSehwag https://t.co/xsFa46mgzg
