We started our investigation by checking out the official Twitter account of Virender Sehwag.
We noted that the official Twitter Handle of Sehwag is @virendersehwag, whereas in the screenshot it is ‘@BoundaryOnFirstBall′.
Also in the screenshot, the date of the tweet is July 14, 2019.

However, on his official Twitter account, there is one tweet from that day but it isn’t the same tweet.

This shows that the screenshot of the tweet is FAKE and should not be shared.
