In last few months, Virender Sehwag has developed a reputation of being the king of Twitter trolls, especially when it comes to wishing his fellow cricketers. With the use of puns, he has wished many former and cricketers in a witty manner; thus carving his own trademark style of wishing cricketers on birthdays and making their day special. Not only this, he also makes it a point to wish the cricketers on other important occasions; a recent example of it is the way he wished New Zealand cricketer Ross Taylor in a hilarious way ahead of his eye operation.
On Thursday, his former teammate and current colleague in the commentary box, Mohammad Kaif celebrated his 36th birthday. There was no way Sehwag could have missed wishing him. He did so, and did it in his own style! We all are aware how good a fielder Kaif was. The acrobatic cricketer changed the way Indian cricket approached the discipline of fielding and inspired a whole new generation to take up fielding seriously with his breathtaking effort on the field. On this occasion, Sehwag compared Kaif, who was a livewire on the field, with a bird while wishing him and asking whether he is a man or a kite?
Here’s what he wrote:
“Udja Kale Kawan Tere Moowich Khandpaanwa”, @MohammadKaif tuk dis song seriously&kept flying kahin bhi.#HappyBirthdayKaif ,R u Man or Kite? pic.twitter.com/pShtPvAsHS

Sehwag even referred to a famous song from Bollywood flick ‘Gadar’ while wishing Kaif. Humbled by his teammate and friend Sehwag’s wish, Kaif thanked him in the language he understands the best — of humour. Kaif wrote in reply:
Hahaha, thanks Viru ! And you took the movie “De Dana Dan”title seriously ,even before it released. Keep entertaining like always ! https://t.co/2QSFT8T5As

Kaif referred to a Bollywood movie too, whose title ‘De Dana Dan’ refers to wild slogging, something which Sehwag mastered during his playing days and continued to do even today, in a different form though.
