Remember these Tweets?

Immediately after the Indian selectors announced India’s squad for the T20s against Australia and chose to give the fans some serious throwback moments with the inclusion of Ashish Nehra - a certain Viru Sehwag took to Twitter to show his... umm.. approval.

And just as Nehra stepped on to bowl the first over for India in the opening T20– his first appearance in the India Blue since the 2011 World Cup semi-final – the collective focus on Twitter shifted to @VirenderSehwag

and ‘go’ Nehra did... Straight into the stands.
26 runs in his first 3 overs.

Cue: loyal fans
