Let's hope this is not the beginning of a new trend.
Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary gave a befitting reply to former Pakistani wicket-keeper Rashid Latif for his brazen communal rant against Indian cricketing legend Virender Sehwag. In videos posted on Twitter on Sunday night, the Bengal batsman blasts Latif for disrespecting Sehwag.
"I was forced to upload this video. Though I do not upload video messages, I had too since a while back I watched a video by Rashid Latif - you guys might have heard his name...where he has used disrespectful words for our great batsman Virender Sehwag. I was thus wondering what could be the reason behind him uploading such a video. I then realised that he has done so only to get fame of 60 seconds. The kind of words he has used, nobody will call him on television in expert panel since he has no manners," Tiwary said.
Tiwary also, rather comically, asked Latif to go check his records as a cricketer and compare them to that of Sehwag's.
Watch the complete video here:
Tiwary also issued a big warning for Latif telling him not to upload any such video in future.
This war of words started after Sehwag posted a tweet after India's victory over Pakistan in the on-going ICC Champions Trophy.
"Pote ke baad Bete. Koi baat nahi Beta, Well tried ! Congratulations Bharat !#BaapBaapHotaHai #INDvPAK," Sehwag had tweeted.
Latif was not pleased with Sehwag's words and put up a long video on his Facebook account where he didn't resist giving an open threat to Viru.
The 48-year-old took to Facebook to post the video with a message that read, "Special response to Sehwag."
Is this the beginning of a new trend, where cricketers across the border stoop to new lows and threaten each other. Let's hope not.
