Sushant Rajput had played the role of Dhoni in his biopic
Former India batsman Virender Sehwag was at it again on social networking site Twitter when he trolled Emirates247.com for putting Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's picture instead of Mahendra Singh Dhoni on his retirement story. However, the former India opener made an error in judgement himself as he mistook the news website twitter account for that of an airline handle.
The tweet by Emirates247.com was about Virat Kohli taking over the reins of captaincy from Dhoni, however, the picture attached featured a split frame of Kohli and Rajput, who had played Dhoni's role in his biopic, MS Dhoni- The Untold Story.

Sehwag, who has become a Twitter star for his brilliant trolling abilities, pounced at the mistake and posted a picture of his own lookalike with a small message attached but sadly he overlooked one key point. The account didn't belong to the airline he was thinking about.

The fun didn't end there as Emirates Airline official twitter handle joined the banter.
