Former Indian cricketing legend Virender Sehwag recently stole the spotlight on the Club Prairie Fire podcast with his trademark humour and candid insights. Hosted by cricketing icons Adam Gilchrist, Michael Vaughan, and James Rochford, known as The Professor, the episode was a delightful blend of laughter and light-hearted banter.
Sehwag’s razor-sharp wit shone throughout the episode as he playfully teased his former opponents, Gilchrist and Vaughan. When asked about Indian cricketers participating in international T20 leagues, Sehwag’s response left everyone in stitches. With his trademark directness, he quipped, “Nah, we’re good. We’re loaded; we don’t bother with leagues in poorer nations.” This spontaneous response not only revealed Sehwag’s straightforward style but also sparked uncontrollable laughter from the hosts, emphasizing his knack for frankness and injecting humor into any conversation.
The Indian cricket icon also amused listeners with a tale of rejecting a tempting offer from the Big Bash League, playfully dismissing the offered pay as inadequate. “I recall when I was sidelined from the Indian team and playing in the IPL. I received an offer from the BBL, and when they mentioned the figure, I joked that I could easily spend that amount on my vacations. Heck, even last night’s dinner tab exceeded that!” Sehwag quipped, further enlivening the conversation with his wit.
Sehwag’s appearance on the podcast adds to the illustrious list of Indian cricketing stars who have graced the show, including Ravi Shastri, Rishabh Pant, and Rohit Sharma. His playful digs at his Australian hosts and witty anecdotes made for an entertaining and memorable episode, showcasing once again why Sehwag remains a beloved figure in the world of cricket.
