Whether it was with the bat when he was playing for India or with his hilarious commentary in his recent venture as a commentator or on Twitter, Virender Sehwag is a lot of fun. Players who take the game on the chin and don’t make it too serious are usually the ones who make for great Twitter users.

In Sehwag’s case, that is exactly what makes him so much fun on Twitter. Whether it is engaging in friendly banter or responding to queries from his fans, the former Indian opener showcases his lighter side, which is one of the reasons why he has nearly 6 million followers on Twitter.

What makes Sehwag’s Twitter account even more special is the fact that he not only tweets about cricket but also re-tweets vital messages from fans and passes on information, which would otherwise be lost on Twitter.

Perhaps that is why he is one of only three cricketers to have over 10 million followers on Twitter.
