New Delhi, March 28: As India defeated Australian convincingly in the fourth and final Test in Dharmasala to clinch series 2-1, former India cricketer Virender Sehwag celebrated the team's win in his own unique styele.
The Nawab of Najafgarh, who is very popular on social media, took to Twitter to announce #ViruGhareluAwards. (Ashwin receives Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy)
The Delhi cricketer gave a funny name to several Indian cricketer and Australian cricketers as the 13-Test long home season came to an end after Virat Kohli and his men defeated Steve Smith and company by 8 wickets.
