Virender Sehwag still gives nightmares to opponents even without a wielding a willow.

As if the disastrous outing of Pakistan cricketers Down Under wasn't enough, Virender Sehwag decided to rub salt into the wounds of India's arch-rivals on a wintry Monday morning.
It seems the Twitter star is never short of humour when it comes to trolling others on the micro-blogging site. And he may have retired from the game but his latest tweet suggests that the Nawab of Najafgarh remembers each and every detail of his records.
Incidentally, on this very day, 11 years ago, when India had toured Pakistan for a three-match Test series, in the very first game at Lahore, Sehwag and Dravid had completed an opening partnership of 410 runs in reply to Pakistan's first innings score of 679. They fell short by just three runs off the then highest opening partnership record, held by Vinoo Mankad and Pankaj Roy (which was ultimately broken by Neil McKenzie and Graeme Smith in 2008).
While Sehwag was dismissed on 254, Dravid remained unbeaten on 128. And here came a Sehwag salvo on Twitter, "11 years ago, had the privilege to celebrate #PakistanKaBhootBanaya Diwas !"

Well, that's how Sehwag still gives nightmares to opponents even without a wielding a willow.
