Post his retirement in 2015, Virender Sehwag has been one of the most active cricketers on the social media. He often keeps giving his fans the latest updates about his life and his thoughts on various incidents. However, it is his way of doing things that grabbed a lot of attention towards his tweets.

The former opening batsman has a great sense of humour and it clearly reflects in his tweets. Be it wishing someone of their birthdays or mocking some of the current affairs, he does it the &#8216;Viru Way&#8217;. The 40-year-old is sometimes too witty, funny and outright to handle.

Most of his tweets tend to get a smile on the faces of the readers. But, a few stand out and create a laughing riot no matter how many times one goes through them. On the occasion of his 40th birthday, here is a compilation of ten of Viru paaji&#8217;s best tweets which are quite amusing.

Brian Charles Lara is among the finest cricketers the world has seen to date. He used to trouble the oppositions by keeping them on the field for a long time and piled up a ton of runs in his career. On his 39th birthday, Sehwag vented out all his frustration in a birthday wish tweet, yet in a subtle &#8216;BC&#8217; way.

&#8216;Happy Birthday @BrianLara. BC Lara, kya tha Maara,&#8217; the tweet read.

<p lang="tl" dir="ltr">Happy Birthday <a href="https://twitter.com/BrianLara?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrianLara</a> .

Umar Akmal now put up a picture in a peculiar pose holding four bats at once. However, Sehwag taught him quite a lesson. &#8220;Main to nanha Sa, Munna Sa, pyaara Sa bachha hoon. Ek chaat 4-4 bat. A great talent with the bat <s>@</s><b>Umar96Akmal</b>,&#8221; the Indian had tweeted.

When India toured England in 2011, the opener bagged a king pair getting out for a duck in both the innings. However, five years down the line, Viru laughed off the incident by mocking himself in his tweet. He wrote that he unwillingly honoured Aryabhatt by getting out for a duck twice. FYI &#8211; Aryabhatt is the man who invented &#8216;0&#8217;.

&#8220;ThisDay5yrs ago, I unwillingly honoured Aryabhatt twice by getting king pair vs Eng after fielding for 188 overs. Felt like kachha limbu, who only fields,&#8221; he tweeted.

4. &#8216;Mera piya ghar aaya ORamJi&#8217;

On another instance, Sehwag trolled Blackcaps cricketer Jacob Oram on his birthday for his height. He said that it felt as if Oram was bowling from the second floor and reminisced an old Bollywood song.

&#8216;O Ram Ji, ur bowling seemed like someone bowling from 2nd floor. Happy Bday Jacob Oram! Mera piya ghar aaya ORamJi !,&#8217; Sehwag wrote.

5. Someone is giving a tough competition to Bappi Lahari

Veteran singer Bappi Lahari is very famous for the amount of gold that he sports on his body. However, in 2016, when Michael Phelps won his 22nd gold medal at the Rio Olympics, Sehwag mentioned that Phelps was giving some tough competition to the singer.

&#8220;Michael Phelps only man likely to beat Bappi Lahiri. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">#</span>GoldKiBarsaat,&#8221; he wrote.

6. Explains the problems of a married man

Ravichandran Ashwin got his 7th Man of the Series award in the series against New Zealand in 2016. Sehwag, who congratulated him also took a sly dig at him as the match ended quite early. He said that only a married man knows the urgency of getting back home soon. While the off-spinner laughed it off, Prithi Ashwin and Aarthi Sehwag claimed to be innocent.

&#8220;Congrats @ashwinravi99 for an incredible 7th Man of the series. Only a married man can understand d urgency of going home early. <s>#</s>FamilyTime,&#8221; it was written in the tweet.

While wishing his former Delhi Daredevils teammate, Sehwag found an interesting connection between Kevin Pietersen&#8217;s name and a place called the Connaught Place in New Dehli. He wrote that he thought KP will send the ball to CP.

&#8220;A very happy birthday @KP24. When we used to play for Delhi,I always thought, This KP will send the ball to CP,&#8221; it was written in the tweet.

After India regained the numero uno spot in the ICC Test rankings, Sachin put up a congratulatory tweet. Sehwag replied to this and asked him to bless the commentators as well as it would give some motivation to them. Sehwag was doing the commentary back then. Sachin replied &#8216;Jiyo mere Lala,&#8217; to Sehwag&#8217;s tweet but found himself mocked by his opening partner.

&#8216;Aashirwad me bhi God ji , apni IPL team ke Maalik ke brand ka zikr karna nahi bhoolte. Sahi me, Duniya hila dete hain aap God ji,&#8217; wrote Viru.

It was during the Gurmehar Kaur row that Sehwag put up this tweet. She was seen holding a placard which read &#8216;Pakistan did not kill my dad. War did&#8217;. Several memes were made out of it and Viru joined in too. He held a placard saying &#8220;I didn&#8217;t score two triple centuries, my bat did.&#8221; It did invite a major controversy for this statement.

There was this drive going on in the country which wanted to save the cows from being slaughtered and instead prayed.  Sehwag&#8217;s version of that was: &#8220;Cow love of the legend Roger Federer. So wonderful to see,&#8221; he wrote.

<h3>3. Honouring Aryabhatt twice</h3>
<p>When India toured England in 2011, the opener bagged a king pair getting out for a duck in both the innings. However, five years down the line, Viru laughed off the incident by mocking himself in his tweet. He wrote that he unwillingly honoured Aryabhatt by getting out for a duck twice. FYI &#8211; Aryabhatt is the man who invented &#8216;0&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#8220;ThisDay5yrs ago, I unwillingly honoured Aryabhatt twice by getting king pair vs Eng after fielding for 188 overs. Felt like kachha limbu, who only fields,&#8221; he tweeted.</p>

<h3>4. &#8216;Mera piya ghar aaya ORamJi&#8217;</h3>
<p>On another instance, Sehwag trolled Blackcaps cricketer Jacob Oram on his birthday for his height. He said that it felt as if Oram was bowling from the second floor and reminisced an old Bollywood song.</p>
<p>&#8216;O Ram Ji, ur bowling seemed like someone bowling from 2nd floor. Happy Bday Jacob Oram! Mera piya ghar aaya ORamJi !,&#8217; Sehwag wrote.</p>

<h3>5. Someone is giving a tough competition to Bappi Lahari</h3>
<p>Veteran singer Bappi Lahari is very famous for the amount of gold that he sports on his body. However, in 2016, when Michael Phelps won his 22nd gold medal at the Rio Olympics, Sehwag mentioned that Phelps was giving some tough competition to the singer.</p>
<p>&#8220;Michael Phelps only man likely to beat Bappi Lahiri. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">#</span>GoldKiBarsaat,&#8221; he wrote.</p>

<h3>6. Explains the problems of a married man</h3>
<p>Ravichandran Ashwin got his 7th Man of the Series award in the series against New Zealand in 2016. Sehwag, who congratulated him also took a sly dig at him as the match ended quite early. He said that only a married man knows the urgency of getting back home soon. While the off-spinner laughed it off, Prithi Ashwin and Aarthi Sehwag claimed to be innocent.</p>
<p>&#8220;Congrats @ashwinravi99 for an incredible 7th Man of the series. Only a married man can understand d urgency of going home early. <s>#</s>FamilyTime,&#8221; it was written in the tweet.</p>

<h3>7. KP sends it to CP</h3>
<p>While wishing his former Delhi Daredevils teammate, Sehwag found an interesting connection between Kevin Pietersen&#8217;s name and a place called the Connaught Place in New Dehli. He wrote that he thought KP will send the ball to CP.</p>
<p>&#8220;A very happy birthday @KP24. When we used to play for Delhi,I always thought, This KP will send the ball to CP,&#8221; it was written in the tweet.</p>

<p>After India regained the numero uno spot in the ICC Test rankings, Sachin put up a congratulatory tweet. Sehwag replied to this and asked him to bless the commentators as well as it would give some motivation to them. Sehwag was doing the commentary back then. Sachin replied &#8216;Jiyo mere Lala,&#8217; to Sehwag&#8217;s tweet but found himself mocked by his opening partner.</p>
<p>&#8216;Aashirwad me bhi God ji , apni IPL team ke Maalik ke brand ka zikr karna nahi bhoolte. Sahi me, Duniya hila dete hain aap God ji,&#8217; wrote Viru.</p>

<h3>9. Bat me hai dum</h3>
<p>It was during the Gurmehar Kaur row that Sehwag put up this tweet. She was seen holding a placard which read &#8216;Pakistan did not kill my dad. War did&#8217;. Several memes were made out of it and Viru joined in too. He held a placard saying &#8220;I didn&#8217;t score two triple centuries, my bat did.&#8221; It did invite a major controversy for this statement.</p>

<h3>10. BJP trolled in the most unique way</h3>
<p>There was this drive going on in the country which wanted to save the cows from being slaughtered and instead prayed.  Sehwag&#8217;s version of that was: &#8220;Cow love of the legend Roger Federer. So wonderful to see,&#8221; he wrote.</p>
