Viru, at his witty best, trolled Cheka following the defeat and suggested everyone to drink Chikoo Shake in honour of Vijender's win.
"Congratulations Tau @boxervijender .

#NightOfTheChampions" – Sehwag tweeted.
Vijender sealed his 8th consecutive victory as a pro after landing the final knockout punch in 3rd round to Francis.
