Former batsman Virender Sehwag had to give a clarification on the 'vada pav' tweet that he did after Mumbai Indians lost the match to Kolkata Knight Rider (KKR) on Wednesday. Sehwag had given a Hindi analogy to explain the match scenario between MI and KKR, using a reference to 'vada pav' a famous Mumbai delicacy.

The tweet did not sit well with the fans of Rohit Sharma who thought that Viru took a jibe at the Indian captain. Sehwag had tweeted "Moonh se nivala cheen liya ,, sorry vada pav cheen liya. Pat Cummins, one of the most insane display of clean hitting , 15 ball 56" 

This tweet did not sit well with some Netizens. Take a look at some angry tweets by Rohit Sharma fans:
