Virender Sehwag's Candid Insights on Shoaib Akhtar, Rivalries, & Cricketing Tales | Home Of Heroes

[@RavishankarSubramanian1962]

Excellent Viru, this interview was exactly like Viru on his day in the cricket field. India was very lucky to have had such a gifted cricketer, simple and extremely effective. Time to wish his son to carry the great legacy of his father.

[@kuldipsingh366]

Veeru changed the reflection of Indian Cricket, he became better attraction than other greats.

[@rajendramunda2648]

He was the Brendon Mcullum in TENDULKAR era. Absolutely terrific batter. Really amazing to see when he used to bat. Fearless batter, Relaxing Batter. ❤❤❤

[@Nikhilkh24]

I think it’s safe to say Sehwag is a name himself. He was better than Mcullum. Sehwag is the greatest modern day test opener. Unfair to compare him with McCallum

[@53manaskumardas6]

​@@Nikhilkh24sehwag is better than mccullum 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😁😁😄😇😇😇

[@venuturupallimurthy]

​@@53manaskumardas6yes to be honest Sehwag was better than Brendon McCullum. I don't know what is so funny for you in this.

[@smartdevil9325]

Viru the great, he changed the Test batting for India.. Always loved to watch him bat.

[@prreddy100]

I enjoyed Viru era. Initially he came as a spinner and with little bit of batting skills (same like Australian player Steve Smith), later emerged as one of the top batter. Sad he could not continue in tests, could it not make 10,000 runs in tests, possibly due to his differences with Dhoni. But what a batsman he was, treat to eyes watching him. I was fortunate to meet him at his home in Najafgarh around 2008. If I remember correctly at that time he was dropped and our team was playing in Hong Kong some tri series. He would be discussed as long as Indian cricket is alive. Long live Sehwag. ❤

[@ANOOPBAL]

Sehwag is from a different planet... hitting a six closing in on 300 is unimaginable!!

[@Ethan_Hunt_Sr]

Yes in subcontinent pitches only .... overseas conditions where technique is required his feet used to stuck in crease

[@1Loduuu]

@@Ethan_Hunt_Sr Well, the strongest team of Sehwag's era was Australia and he made 1,031 runs at an average of 46.86 in 11 Tests that he played in Australia. One should remember that he was an opener which is the hardest thing to do in Tests. Still, he made 8,207 runs at an average of 50.04 in 99 Tests that he played as an opener in his career, which is awesome. In fact, in Indian cricket history, only Gavaskar has been a better Test opener than him. Then again, many consider Gawaskar the world's greatest Test opener. But we should remember that Sehwag was a bigger match-winner than Gavaskar and most other Indian cricketers.

[@pidchedrr1796]

Viru name is so apt, very daring and dashing. There won’t be another Viru🇮🇳. Thank you for entertaining us!!!

[@86sutlej]

So glad to hear Sehwag appreciate Anil Kumble's role in his career at 26:06 . Not many remember Anil's contribution as captain because it was for a short duration

[@akshaykhanna7261]

Bhai last k 30 seconds were emotional… these players were emotions… now a days its just cricket…

[@swamisundaram]

Sehwag, - a true match winner and humble human being, what an asset! His fearless and effective batting set new heights and defined the future of Indian cricket; never to be forgotten. And Sanjay Manjrekar is a much better commentator and interviewer than he was as a batsman.

[@thiruvetti]

I cant forget the Test debut of Viru in SA 2001 when he scored that 100 , that test match all the commentators were busy with comparison of Viru and Sachin. His helmet, shots etc. Those days we used to wait for some batsman to score in overseas to help Sachin.

[@adityakeshari4647]

2:47 As a fan of Sehwag that "one almost a triple hundred" hurts a lot. He could've been the guy who hit 3 triple hundreds.

[@rohitsingh7492]

16:50 eyesight talk

[@tompasand1797]

The Sulltan of Sultans, you will always be remembered for your unmatching entertainment when you were at the crease. You played test matches like they were ODIs. I am still quite disappointed when you missed your 3rd triple hundred by handful of runs. In fact you would have hit the 300 if you had faced a couple of overs more on the same day you started to bat but the Indian innings started 30 minutes late as the opposition team's tail-enders continued batting in the 2nd day. Even some of the greatest players could not even get one triple hundred. You were unique. I wish you played few more test matches.

[@onkarvigy]

If Viv Richards was all confidence , Azharuddin was all art, Sehwag was all heart!!! Heart has no measure!! You have got to watch it in action , in it's beating is it's beauty!!! How can you measure the supreme confident walk and presence of Viv Richards at the stumps, the elegant wristy flicks & bisectings of Azharuddin, the flashy upper slaps/cuts of Sehwag!!!??

[@Rangrajchoudhary]

Brett Lee Shane Bond Glenn McGrath three best bowlers of all time

[@TJSaw]

This seems like it was recorded years ago. The least you can do is provide the original date.

[@vinayy12]

Seems like an old video... Uploader should have mentioned interview date for the context.

[@kalyandeshpande2173]

Dhoni did not back Sehwag, Harbhajan, Yuvraj so they couldn't be part of 2015 world cup

[@khurmiful]

First time I saw him bat on TV was in England where he made a hundred. I remember watching cricket while busy with other chores, and for good part I remained under the impression that it was Sachin playing all those shots.

[@paulamrana8981]

That stand & line ki yeh kisi ke baap ki Team nahin hai very important point & real point dada ka laadlaa thaa viru aur Viru ho ki Dada inhonein jo journey ki hai woh mehnat aur upar neechle waali rahi hai.

[@vasudevdholakiya2988]

Sehwag sir is absolutely right about Rishabh pant,,,,This is why pant,s record is not good in white ball cricket

[@ankurgogoi724]

Sehwag lost all my respect when he acted in Bimal ads...and Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar as well...they have contributed a lot for the country...they earned famed, money, respect....but don't they have some morale or social responsibility ??? What message are they giving to the younger generation ?? Why acted in Gutkhas ads(in the deceptive ads of Elachi ) ?? This is very wrong

Akhtar ki hawa nikaal di thi. Akhtar abhi India ki taarif karta hai sab channels pe kyonki paisa chahiye us ko. Dil abhi bhi jalta hai India ki success dekh Kar. Sehwag sirf Sach hi bolta hai, kisi ko achcha lage ya bura. He is a very genuine person.
