Yesterday, Virender Sehwag who is the head coach of the team played a prank on his fans by declaring that he will make a comeback in the team. Even official Twitter handle of the team read BREAKING NEWS: You're in for a real treat. @virendersehwag will take the field in Vivo @IPL once again, replacing @AaronFinch5 for the season opener. It's deja vu all over again,” read the tweet.

“Sehwag will come out of retirement and will open the innings in the absence of Aaron Finch. The decision, which was taken at the team preparatory camp in Mohali after a long deliberation by captain Ravichandran Ashwin, coach Brad Hodge, Director of Cricket Operations Virender Sehwag himself and the team management,” read a news article on KXIP official website.

However, the joy for the fans was short-lived as Sehwag later in the video revealed that it was nothing more than an April Fool’s Day Prank. The video was posted on the various social handles of the team.
