Virender Sehwag, who is also known as viru, has been very active on Twitter since his retirement from the International cricket. He always remains in the headlines with his humorous tweets and his fans love his new role. However, his one recent tweet didn’t go down well to some his followers.
He highlighted the approach of public standard banks and compared it with umpires, who were associated in the second One-Day International match between South Africa and India.
During second ODI in Centurion, ICC’s elite panel umpire Aleem Dar called it a lunch when Team India was just two runs away from winning the game. Indian skipper Virat Kohli was amazed at this call and expressed his disappointment straightaway.

However, this incident gave everyone a reason to pull the legs of these umpires. Sensing this opportunity, Sehwag said umpires treated Indian batsmen like PSU bank treats their customers.

But two fans were not happy with Viru’s comment and they expressed their anger in reply. Few PSU bankers got offended with this and they shot Sehwag and revealed they always prioritize their customers.

Bura na maan bhai. Tu exception hai. Most Sarkaari banks , infact most sarkaari departments don’t care for the common man. The attitude is like Maai Baap , as if they are doing a favour if they do their job. https://t.co/CRfkuSQCEb

I work in PSU bank. We never ask our customers to come after lunchtime.

You are also an exception. Apart from lunch most others also have the excuse of server kharaab, printer nahi chal raha. Unfortunately hasn’t changed in most sarkaari departments https://t.co/faeYzdyRBy

Team India won the second ODI by nine wickets after coming back from the lunch break. They are now 2-0 up in the series, while South Africa is in some serious danger of giving away the series.
