Virender Sehwag, Parthiv Patel leave Twitterati in splits with hilarious 'roti' banter
Has Viru finally found his match?
Virender Sehwag is known as much for his wit as he is for his cricketing legacy.
The former Indian opener has a strong army of followers on social media, who are thoroughly entertained by his hilarious takes on anything and everything.
Although Viru's strike-rate in terms of online jokes has reduced over the past few months, he more than made up for it with an absolute gem on Wednesday.
The butt of Sehwag's joke this time was diminutive Indian wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel.
The Nawab of Najafgarh took to Twitter on Tuesday to share a picture of two rotis in the shape of human hands. The picture's caption was written in Hindi and loosely translated to: "A husband requests his new bride to feed him rotis made from her hands."
Here's his post
While this tweet was funny in itself, Viru took it a notch higher by involving Parthiv in it.
Sehwag followed up his first tweet with another one asking the wicket-keeper if he should send him gloves in South Africa (where Team India, which Parthiv is a part of, is currently playing a Test series).

As fans were giggling at Viru's hilarious comment, Parthiv came up with a witty reply himself. He told Sehwag that he'd carried enough pair of perfect-sized gloves with him. Also, Parthiv advised the Delhi Dasher to keep the 'gloves' with him as the capital is freezing and someone might need them.
