Former Indian opener and the proud owner of two triple centuries, The Nawab of Najafgarh, Virender Sehwag was always known for his ferocious hitting and making a merry of bowlers all around. Having announced his retirement a couple of years back, Viru, as he is fondly known, seems to be making a merry of people in his second innings too, this time as a critic.

He has taken the twitter world by storm off late with his hilarious take on the trending subjects with a tinge of sarcasm attached to it which is being well received by the Twitteratis who seem to be heaping praises on the former Indian batsman. Seeing a lot of interest being shown on his tweeting abilities with a number of likes, retweets and other activities, the sponsors were quick to pounce on the opportunity to spread awareness of their products and hence approached Viru with handsome offers to ink offers through his twitter handle to which he obliged.

The hard hitting Delhi batsman claims to have made a sum of Rs 30 lakh over the past six months through such advertising stunts and is very happy with the way things are spanning out at the moment. He is also a part of the Hindi commentary team for India's series and has received a lot of praise from his fellow commentators for his effective use of the 140 character limit on Twitter.

Sehwag on a personal note claims that it is a win-win situation for him as he is able to generate a sizable income post retirement and at the same time do what he loves, entertain his fans as always, only through a different medium this time. One would only hope that he keeps this entertainment going for as long as he can so that the fans don't miss his blitzkrieg on the field.
