[Saba Sports News] Former cricket stars Virender Sehwag and Shoaib Akhtar, now commentators at the ILT20 in Dubai, recently shared some humorous banter, showcasing their strong rapport. Akhtar posted a video on social media highlighting Sehwag’s take on his notorious long run-up.
In the video, Akhtar questions if his run-up was a distraction.
Sehwag humorously responds, pondering if Akhtar’s delivery would target his toes or head. Sehwag’s illustrious career in Indian cricket includes 104 Tests, 251 ODIs, and 19 T20Is. Known for his aggressive play, he’s achieved rare feats like double centuries in ODIs and triple centuries in Tests, setting records like the fastest triple century in Test cricket.
Meanwhile, Akhtar, the “Rawalpindi Express,” is celebrated for his extraordinary pace. His achievements in Tests and ODIs, and being part of Pakistan’s victorious 2009 T20 World Cup team, mark his significant impact in cricket. These legends, sharing stories and laughs in the commentary box, offer fans a mix of cricket insight and a glimpse into their playful side.
