WATCH: Former Pak cricketer Rashid Latif indulges in brazen communal rant against Virender Sehwag

Former Pakistan wicket-keeper Rashid Latif launched a pathetic tirade against Indian cricket legend Virender Sehwag on Friday. Latif's rant was in response to Sehwag's earlier tweet where he referred to Pakistan as India's beta (son) and Bangladesh as India's pota (grandson).

Pote ke baad Bete. Koi baat nahi Beta, Well tried ! Congratulations Bharat !#BaapBaapHotaHai #INDvPAK

Laitf chose to say say some truly despicable things in his response to Sehwag, and didn't hold back while insulting India.

In his response to Latif video, Sehwag took another jibe, and wrote, "a meaningful silence is always better than meaningless words" on his favourite social media platform.

A meaningful silence is always better than meaningless words.

Latif played 37 Tests and 166 ODIs scoring 1381 and 1709 in his 11-year career in international cricket. Both India and Pakistan can still qualify for the semi-finals, having won one and lost one each from their previous two matches.
