Virat Kohli has been better than Don Bradman in 2016, says Virender Sehwag

"In year 2016, his stats are better than (Donald) Bradman. He is good in all formats, ODI, Tests," Sehwag said.

It’s not only the fans who enjoy reading tweets of Virender Sehwag, who has become a rage on the social media, but the former cricketer himself reads his own posts for entertainment.

Sehwag’s humorous posts on micro-blogging site Twitter is a much talked about phenomenon now.

“Social media is a platform where you can express your opinion and engage with your fans. I have always believed in one thing —

entertainment…entertainment…entertainment. There is already lot of tension in life. If you can make somebody happy and smile. Why not, nothing like it,” Sehwag said during a session at Agenda ‘Aaj Tak’.

“People write quite simple. I thought let’s write something that people take notioce of. I met (actor) Ranveer Singh recently and he said that he reads my tweets at midnight and jump in bed, laughing,” the former opener said.

“My kids also tell me, you are a rage. God (Sachin Tendulkar) has praised you. Were you were really that good? Now I watch my own batting videos on Youtube and enjoy. I read my tweets and enjoy. I have entraianed people so much, I also have a right. I have admired a lot of cricketers and I am also one of them. I am my own favourite,” he said.

Asked Virat Kohli reminds him of which cricketer, Sehwag said no one should be compared to anyone.

“I enjoy when he bats. He reminds me of Virat only. In year 2016, his stats are better than (Donald) Bradman. He is good in all formats, ODI, Tests.

“No one should be compared. If that happens you risk forgetting your own game. When people started telling me that I play like Tendulkar, I tried to copy his shots for 10-12 ODIs and terribly failed. Then I said, To hell with Tendulkar, let’s play my own game.”
