Virender Sehwag’s Hilarious Encounter with Sky Sports and Big Bash League

Former Team India opener Virender Sehwag recently shared a hilarious incident where Sky Sports approached him to join their cricket commentary panel, but ultimately couldn’t afford him. In a candid conversation on the YouTube podcast Club Prairie Fire, Sehwag revealed that despite telling Sky News that they wouldn’t be able to afford him, they still insisted on knowing his price.

Sehwag jokingly quoted £10,000 a day, to which Sky Sports admitted they couldn’t afford him. The former Indian cricketer also joked about Indian players not needing to play for other international leagues because they are “rich people” who don’t go to “poor countries.”

Sehwag also shared an offer he received from the Big Bash League while playing in the IPL, where they offered around $100,000. Sehwag humorously remarked that he could spend that much money on his holiday, prompting laughter from the podcast hosts.

When asked about his favorite bowler during his playing days, Sehwag cheekily replied, “Many!” He mentioned spinners and even joked about liking bowlers who bowled like former English cricketer Ronnie Irani, leaving the hosts in stitches.

The podcast showcased Sehwag’s humorous side and provided fans with a glimpse of his witty personality. Despite the failed deal with Sky Sports, Sehwag’s charm and humor continue to entertain cricket enthusiasts both on and off the field.
