Virender Sehwag is at it again and this time it is Parthiv Patel who is on his dartboard. Virender Sehwag’s comments and jibes on Twitter are infamous and have become legendary. The last time we saw him in this hilarious avatar was when he got into a Twitter banter with Ross Taylor. The Twitter King regales his audiences with humorous and retweet-worthy one-liners.

With talks of Saha’s replacement making the rounds, it seems Patel is already ready to make the cut. Patel made his debut way back in 2003 but had to wait for a long time to return to the national side. He would be looking to make amends with the limited opportunity he gets.
The former India cricketer Virender Sehwag tweeted a chapati in the shape of wicketkeeping gloves:
नई नवेली दुल्हन आयीz पति बोला अपने हाथ की रोटी बना के खिलाओ । pic.twitter.com/9CG0LoGUlN

Sehwag did not stop there as in his next post he pulled in Parthiv Patel and made an offer of giving him wicketkeeping gloves. Here is the tweet:
Nikke @parthiv9 , Bhai wicket keeping gloves hain wahaan ya bhejoon ! https://t.co/qJe34WlEqh

It seems the joke may not have gone down well with Parthiv who denied the offer placed by Sehwag. His reply read:
Idhar meri perfect size wale bahut gloves le ke aaya hu.. ise udhar hi rakhe aap..delhi mai thand Badh gayi hai to ghar me kisi ke Kaam aaynege…

Twittersphere saw the funny side of this banter and here is how they reacted:
