Virender Sehwag names Virat Kohli as 'holder', dubs Steve Smith as 'tubelight'

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.

The funny analogies drawn by the former India opener, who is only Indian to slam two triple tons in Test cricket, became quite a rage over social media.

Here's who was given which name by Sehwag:

Cheteshwar Pujara - Inverter

Ravindra Jadeja - Tullu Pump (small water pumping machine)

Lokesh Rahul - Stabilizer

Steve Smith - Tubelight

Wriddhiman Saha - Channi (Tea strainer)

Peter Handscomb - Joon Kangi (Comb)

Umesh Yadav - Sansi (tongs)

R Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane - Desert Cooler

Kuldeep Yadav - Exhaust fan.

Sehwag also congratulated the Indian team for reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and finishing the home season with 10 Test victories and just one loss in Pune.

India ended the Test season by remaining the No. 1 Test team in the world and have become only the third cricketing side to hold series titles against all Test playing nations at the same point of time.
