But photos can be misleading. There are reports that the cows gifted to the legend were not afforded the care and love majority of Indian fans would have assumed as the sacrosanct duty of the new owner. Most of the milch cows, like in other parts of Europe, were used for diary, then, after a certain age, they butchered for various other reasons.

On Sunday, Federer defeated Marin Cilic in straight sets to win a record eighth Wimbledon title and became the tournament's oldest champion. It was also his 19th Grand Slam title.

On contrary, Sehwag spent his holiday in Canada after his application to become India's next head coach failed to impress the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) comprising Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Lamxan. The committee was given the responsibility to hire Anil Kumble's replacement.

Former Team Director Ravi Shastri was selected as India's new head coach.
