Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag sarcastically slammed Pakistani Islamist political commentator, Zaid Hamid for the mention of cricketer Ashish Nehra as a javelin thrower in one of his recent Twitter posts.

The Twitter exchange from Zaid Hamid came after Pakistani athlete Arshad Nadeem won the Gold medal in the Men’s Javelin Throw event at the Commonwealth Games 2022. His final throw recorded 90.18m which is the longest in the Commonwealth Games to date. With the golden throw, Arshad Nadeem also beat Indian icon Neeraj Chopra’s mark of 87.58m in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics final where the former had finished in 5th place.

Referring to the feat, Zaid Hamid wrote, “And what makes this victory even 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 to come back…”

Though the Pakistani conspiracy theorist’s Twitter handle is banned in India, the blunder grabbed the attention of Virender Sehwag. He trolled the hilarious mistake by sharing a screenshot of it.
