Virender Sehwag issues clarification for his ‘Vada Pav’ comment
Pat Cummins proved to be the unpredictable saviour for KKR and surprised everyone with his shot-making. The Australian Test captain who is known for his bowling, came and just blew the MI bowlers all around the stadium. He finished the game for his team, equalling the record for the fastest fifty in IPL in just 14 deliveries. The right-handed lower order batsman went berserk and did not spare any of the MI bowlers, who looked meek in front of the crazy assault.
Following the MI defeat, the former Indian explosive batsman, Sehwag posted a hilarious comment, which didn’t go down well with the MI and Rohit Sharma fans. After receiving backlash from the netizens, Virender Sehwag issues clarification and explained what his comment meant. Sehwag tweeted, “Moonh se nivala cheen liya,, sorry vada pav cheen liya. Pat Cummins, one of the most insane display of clean hitting, 15 ball 56 … Jeera Batti #MIvKKR.”
A section of fans mistook the tweet and inferred that Sehwag took a dig at Rohit Sharma by using the word ‘Vada Pav’ in the comment. However, Virender Sehwag issues clarification that the Vada Pav reference was for Mumbai and not for Rohit. Sehwag commented, “The Vada Pav reference is for Mumbai, a city which thrives on Vada Pav. Rohit fans thanda lo, I am a bigger fan of his batting much more than most of you guys.”

Mumbai Indians are known as the late starters, however their last season didn’t go very well as they got back to winning ways quite late. The beginning of this season has also been the same, but they would like to get on the winning track so it doesn’t become impossible for them to break into the Top-4. They are currently on 9th position on the points table.
