Virender Sehwag is not only known for his swashbuckling shorts but also his wit. We remember his Twitter argument with Piers Morgan where the British journalist bore the brunt for mocking at Indian women’s cricket team. With this wit, he has even roasted many cricketing greats including Shoaib Akhtar during his stint with Hindi commentary. In fact, his one-liners have even gone viral and his tongue-in-cheek replies still make us laugh.
Now the fiery former opener of India had appeared on the show What The Duck With Vikram Sathaye with the master blaster Sachin Tendulkar. After both the former openers of India having a hearty chat with the anchor, they posed for a picture, which has now become the talk of the town. Both pulled off Ramji- Hanumanji where Sehwag went on his knee with a gada in his hands whereas Tendulkar stood tall. The picture was shared on Sehwag’s social media.
The snap was captioned, “When with God ji @sachin_rt ,best to be at His feet. #HammerNahiGadaHai #RamjiHanumanji.”

During the show, Tendulkar even spoke about his first meeting with Sehwag. "I remember when Viru first joined the team, he would not talk to me. Then I thought this can’t work, we need to talk to each other and if we are batting together I need to make him comfortable. So I told him let's go get have some food. Before going, I asked him what he liked. He said 'Paaji, I am a vegetarian'. When I asked why, he revealed that he had been told at home that eating chicken makes you fat," he said. Both Sehwag and Tendulkar have opened for 93 innings for India for a decade and scored 3919 runs. The due registered their name amongst the top 5 openers in ODI cricket.
