Virender Sehwag’s Hilarious Chat with Adam Gilchrist Reveals His Price Tag for Sky Sports Panel
Virender Sehwag, the former Indian cricket star known for his fearless batting and witty remarks, recently shared a hilarious anecdote during a chat with Australian legend Adam Gilchrist. The conversation took an unexpected turn when Sehwag disclosed the amount he would charge to be a part of a panel for famous broadcaster Sky Sports.
In a candid moment on the Club Prairie Fire podcast, Sehwag revealed that Sky Sports had approached him to join their panel. However, when asked about his price, Sehwag jokingly replied, “GBP 10,000 a day.” The broadcaster quickly realized they couldn’t afford Sehwag’s fee, leading to a humorous exchange between the two parties.
But this wasn’t the first time Sehwag had turned down a lucrative offer. He also shared that he had declined a $100,000 contract from a Big Bash League franchise in the past. When asked by Gilchrist if Indian players would ever participate in other T20 leagues, Sehwag cheekily responded, “We are rich people, we don’t go to poor countries for other leagues.”
Sehwag’s witty banter and candid revelations have once again endeared him to fans around the world. His ability to speak his mind and inject humor into any situation make him a unique and entertaining personality in the world of cricket.
As Sehwag continues to entertain fans with his off-the-field antics, one thing is for sure – he will always be remembered as a player who never shied away from speaking his mind, no matter the situation.
