The entire scene unfolded when India lost to Sri Lanka in their second match in the ICC Champions Trophy.

Prior to the game, team India were tagged as the firm favorites to win the match. Nobody even gave a sniff to the Sri Lankan team in the match. One among such people was Virender Sehwag. In a conversation with a news house on national television, Sehwag made some very bold predictions for the match. He had quoted that India will easily romp home with a win. They will seal their semi-final berth for sure with a thumping win.

He had quoted the Sri Lanka team to be a match stick that is wet in nature at the moment. In essence, they pose no threat and have no fire left in them. It was this very remark that the Twitterati took too seriously to troll Sehwag soon after the game. In the match, team India posted a huge total of 321 on the board. However, some special knocks from Kusal Mendis and Danushka Gunathilaka helped Sri Lanka chase the total with 7 wickets in hand.
