Indian cricket legend Sehwag salutes 'cow lover' Federer

Indian batting legend Virender Sehwag left his 11 million Twitter followers in splits with yet another funny tweet,

This time his subject was none other than Swiss tennis icon Roger Federer.

Sehwag posted three old pictures of Federer celebrating his previous Grand Slam wins with people from his country.

In each of the three pictures, Federer can be seen with cows.

"Cow love of the legend Roger Federer. So wonderful to see," Sehwag wrote on Twitter.

Sehwag's tweet had almost six thousand retweets  

Very few people know that Federer was gifted a cow named Juliette in Switzerland to celebrate his first Wimbledon victory in 2003.

Interestingly, Federer received his second cow - Desiree - as a gift in 2013 after he returned to Swiss Open as a player for the first time in nine years.

The 35-year-old Federer, a national hero in Switzerland, became the oldest champion at Wimbledon last Sunday when he beat Croatia's Marin Cilic in straight sets in the final.

Federer's eighth Wimbledon win cemented his status as the greatest tennis player of all time. The graceful shot-maker will now aim for his 20th Grand Slam title when the US Open begins next month in New York.
