Virender Sehwag was afraid of English, Ravi Shastri still did not ask questions in Hindi

New Delhi. Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag is considered one of the best cricketers in the world, but he is afraid of English at first. Sehwag told the story on the TV show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati-1’ (KBC 1). Former captain and current BCCI president Sourav Ganguly was also with him in the episode on Friday. This time, a question was asked about Naomi Osaka and mental health.

Ganguly, meanwhile, said there was a lot of stress on the players. He cited the example of legendary England all-rounder Ben Stokes, who took a break from cricket for this reason. “I am also under a lot of stress,” Sehwag said.

Sehwag said that when he received the Man of the Match award for the first time, current coach Ravi Shastri was the anchor. He said, ‘I didn’t know English. Speaking English was also a metallic challenge. Metal had health problems. I took a big approach to asking questions in Hindi, but he (Shastri) asked the first question in English. We would focus on the game. Not in English, but later learned English because international matches have to be played. It is a matter of pride that I now speak my own language and am not afraid of anyone.

Ganguly and Sehwag’s juggling was seen in this episode. When Ganguly recognized the song ‘Rangila Re’ in the tune, Sehwag pulled him away. Sehwag said that Dada (Ganguly) used to listen to music in the lowest dressing room and he was the one who recognized the song from this tune. Biru said, ‘Well, it was the heroine’s song, so I recognized it. If he was a hero, he could not recognize him. Ganguly was later seen smiling.
