Four Reasons why Indians love Viru
Sledging the opponents
Sledging is a generally a term not associated with Indians. Indians were believed to be humble and to mind their own business. However, this man changed it all and rightly so. As his confidence in the international scenario grew, his presence in the field became very evident. Here are a couple of instances where his sledging was experienced:
- When Shoaib Akthar was taunting Sehwag to hit a hook shot of his bouncers, he asked Shoaib to bowl the same to Sachin Tendulkar, who was then at the non-striker’s end. When Sachin hooked Shoaib for a six the next over, Sehwag quipped with “”Beta Beta hota hai, baap baap hota hai” (The daddy is always the man, the son will always be the son).
- Once Michael Clarke was sledging at Tendulkar continuously for his age by saying he needs to retire. An irate Sehwag went to Clarke and asked “Your friends call you ‘pup’, right?” Clarke replied, “Yeah, mate.” Sehwag shut him up by asking, “Which breed?”
