Sehwag’s Blunt Remarks: ‘Indian Players Don’t Need to Play in Poor Leagues’
Virender Sehwag, the former Indian cricket opener, is renowned for his witty remarks and humorous takes on various topics. His humor often shines through on social media, where he engages with fans and followers with light-hearted banter. Sehwag’s commentary, whether on cricket or everyday observations, is filled with laughter and puns. He has a knack for making people smile with his straightforward and playful language.
During a recent appearance on the Club Prairie Podcast alongside former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist, Sehwag once again hogged the limelight for his blunt remarks. When asked if he foresaw a time when Indian players would participate in other T20 leagues, Sehwag responded with a touch of lighthearted overstatement, “No, we don’t need to. We are rich people, we don’t go to poor countries for other leagues.”
Sehwag also recounted a moment when he turned down an offer from the Big Bash League due to the offered amount being insufficient. “I still remember when I was dropped from the Indian team and I was playing IPL. Then I got an offer from BBL that I should participate in the Big Bash, I said okay how much money, they said $100,000.” “I said I can spend that money in my holidays, even last night’s bill was more than that,” the 45-year-old jokingly revealed.
Sehwag’s remarks have sparked a debate on social media, with some fans applauding his honesty and others criticizing his dismissiveness of other T20 leagues. However, one thing is for sure: Sehwag’s wit and humor continue to entertain and engage cricket enthusiasts around the world.
