Virender Sehwag is renowned as one of the most destructive batters in cricket history. His unorthodox technique involves backing away to free his arms when playing shots, especially to cut or drive spinners inside out. Sehwag’s aggressive batting style earned him the title of the “most exciting opener in the world” in 2005, as recognized by Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack. Recently, Sehwag shared on Instagram that one of his batting techniques is inspired by the Ramayana.
Ramayana has made a comeback on Indian television during the quarantine period, bringing joy to almost every Indian. Virender Sehwag recently posted a photo from a scene in Ravan’s court, where Angad – the son of Bali and a member of the Vanara Sena – stood strong while a general of Ravan’s attempted to move his feet in a challenge. Sehwag humorously cited a line from the film Don, “So here is where I took my batting inspiration from ? Pair hilana mushkil hi nahi, namumkin hai”. The cricketer’s post was a funny analogy to showcase his batting inspiration, highlighting his well-known sense of humor.
