After retiring from cricket, explosive batsman Virender Sehwag is now working to make a splash in the world of commentary. Along with this, Sehwag is also very active on social media and keeps entertaining the fans with his funny tweets and Instagram posts.

Meanwhile on Saturday, Sehwag posted a cryptic tweet saying "Sabse jyada darr kisse lagta hai ? (What are you most scared of?). He received varied answers from fans and one of them made a rather hilarious remark.

The Indian fan wrote, “New Zealand” in the reply, referring to India's defeats to New Zealand in the knock-out matches of world tournaments. Sehwag, however, had a funnier response to the tweet from the fan. He wrote, "Haan yaar, maasoom se hain but Knockout mein bada bura karte hain hamaare saath (Yeah man. They're nice but they treat us really badly in knockouts!)

New Zealand's dominance over India in World tournaments

Virender Sehwag pointed out India’s poor record against New Zealand in multi-nation events in recent years. It was the Black Caps that knocked out Team India from the 2019 World Cup in the semi-final after a heartbreaking defeat. The Kane Williamson-led team beat India in the 2021 World Test Championship (WTC) final while also beating them in a do-or-die clash in that year's T20 World Cup.

Recently the Blackcaps toured India for three ODI and three T20I series from 18th January to February 1, 2023. In ODIs, the Men in Blue captained by Rohit Sharma defeated the Kiwis by 3-0, and in T20I, the Hardik Pandya-led team beat the Mitchell Santner-led team by 2-1. The Kiwis will return to action later this month when they host England for a two-Test series. The first Test starts on February 16 in Mount Maunganui.

India are eyeing a place in the World Test Championship final when they will take on Australia in a four-match series, starting February 9. India are currently second in the table while Australia are comfortably seated at the top. The final of the 2021-23 edition takes place at the iconic Oval ground in June.
