Ahead of the India vs Sri Lanka match on June 8 at Oval, it was speculated that India would be the second team in the tournament to enter the Semi-Finals after England as Sri Lanka failed to perform in its previous games and lost all of them. As India kickstarted their tournament massively with beating their arch rivals with a huge margin of 124 runs and now, they were all set to play the eighth-ranked ODI team, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag was more than confident of India’s victory.
While speaking to a leading Indian news channel, Virender Sehwag stated that Sri Lankans doesn’t have that ability to win against India. He said:
“Sri Lanka bheegi hui maachis ki wo dibbi hai jisme aag khatam ho chuki hai. Bhaart ko pakka ticket milega semi-final mein jaane ka (Sri Lanka is just like a moist match-box which is no more inflammable now. India will definitely get the ticket to Semi-Finals).”
But later, Sri Lanka turned out to be the dark horses as they defeated India by 7 wickets and successfully chased down a huge target of 322 runs. After Lanka’s victory, the Twitterati trolled the ‘King’of Twitter, Virender Sehwag very badly on his matchstick remark. Especially, the Twitterati from Pakistan had many things to say.
So here’s what Viru Paji said”
