England couldn't survive the fifth day challenge at Visakhapatnam as the whole team folded up for 158 in the second innings to hand a 246-run victory to India on Monday. While a lot of former cricketers blasted the Englishmen for their inability to cope with Indian conditions, former opener and current Twitter sensation, Virender Sehwag took a dig at James Anderson who became the first English batsman to bag a king pair in Tests after Ernie Hayes, who was dismissed in the same fashion against South Africa in 1906.

A king pair is the situation when a batsman is dismissed on the first ball in both innings.

Incidentally, during India's tour to England in 2011, Anderson was the bowler who got Sehwag out in the second innings of the 3rd Test at Edgbaston and as the Indian was dismissed by Stuart Broad off the first ball in the first innings, he had to enter the most dreaded club.

However, thanks to Kohli's men Sehwag got his chance troll Anderson after five long years and he tweeted, "Jimmy Anderson made me pay tribute to Aryabhatta by getting me out for a King pair in 2011. Today,he too got a King pair. #KarmaBites."
