“Ashish Nehra is right now preparing for UK Prime Minister Elections”- Virender Sehwag hilariously trolls Pakistani commentator for big blunder

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has always enjoyed banter against Pakistan. On Thursday, he took a dig against Pakistan's Islamist political commentator Zaid Hamid for a major blunder on Twitter.

In a tweet post, Sehwag wrote:

“Chicha, Ashish Nehra is right now preparing for UK Prime Minister Elections. So chill.”

He was referring to the uncanny similarities between Ashish Nehra and UK PM candidate Rishi Sunak while trolling Zaid for a major mistake on the micro-blogging site, who wrote:

“And what makes this victory even more sweeter is the fact that this Pakistani athlete has destroyed Indian javelin throw hero Ashish Nehra…In the last competition Ashish had defeated Arshad Nadeem…What a sweet revenge come back…”

Hamid was supposedly referring to Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra but instead named former Indian pacer and Gujarat Titans coach Ashish Nehra. Neeraj Chopra also won silver at the 2022 World Championships. However, he missed the Commonwealth Games due to an injury.

The tweet post has already received a number of hilarious replies, check out below:

One user wrote:

“Hahaha…Aur inko Kashmir chahiye kahi Lahore na dede.”

Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem clinched the first-ever javelin throw gold for Pakistan in Commonwealth Games. He went past Neeraj Chopra's distance (88.13m in the World Athletics Championship) by registering 90.18m.

Neeraj quickly took to Instagram to congratulate Nadeem. He wrote:

“Congratulations Arshad Bhai for gold medal and crossing 90mtr with new games record. Aage ke competitions ke liye all the best.”
