New Delhi, Aug 18 (IBNS): Keeping his witty humour intact, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag paid tribute to Sakshi Malik who secured the first medal for Indian in the ongoing Rio Olympics.

Sehwag, whose tweets have been the source of interest for many netizens for months now, tweeted, "Poora Bharat is baat ka Sakshi hai,jab koi bht mushkil ho toh is desh ki ladkiyan hi Malik hain.Thank U #SakshiMalik."

The dashing opener, who in his hay days used to tear apart bowling attacks, highlighted the importance of saving a girl child.

"#SakshiMalik is a reminder of what cn happn if u don't kill a girl child.When d going gets tough,its our girls who get going &save our pride," Sehwag said.

Malik became only the fourth women from India to win an Olympic medal.

She matched the feats of Karnam Malleshwari (Weight Lifting), MC Mary Kom (Boxing) and Saina Nehwal (Badminton), who had earlier won a medal each. .
