Emirates mistakes Sushant Singh Rajput for MS Dhoni, gets trolled by Virender Sehwag

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's big announcements might always be quiet, but the reactions to those announcements are not. Ever since Captain Cool decided to relinquish captaincy of the Indian limited overs teams, news outlets have gone into overdrive trying to cover every aspect of the massive development.

And probably in this very excitement, UAE based Emirates247.com ended up making quite the gaffe when they posted Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's picture in place of Dhoni's while announcing Virat Kohli's appointment as the new captain of the Men in Blue.

Here's the tweet in question:

Quick to latch on to this mistake was none other than Twitter terror and former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag. The Delhi Dasher didn't waste much time in posting an image of his look-alike with the caption, "@Emirates247 I am flying with you in a while, hope you don't allow him to board instead of me." The Nawab of Najafgarh, though, himself made a mistake in his tweet when he mistook Emirates247 - a news agancy - for the Emirates airline.

Here's Sehwag's hilarious tweet:

Deciding to take matters in their own hands, Emirates Airline's official twitter account was prompt in its attempt to douse the fire. Attaching Sehwag's real picture, they put out a tweet with the caption, "@virendersehwag No worries, we've got your back. We look forward to your next flight with us."
