10 Cricketers and their superstitions
These players were legends for their country and were superstitious as well.
Virender Sehwag (No jersey number)
Without a doubt, Virender Sehwag was India’s most fearless and entertaining opener. Sehwag induced a sense of thrill among fans and fright among bowlers. The Nawab of Najafgarh is the only Indian to score two triple centuries in Test cricket.
Sehwag is known for his clear-minded approach and witty tweets. Like his other opening partner, he too used a very famous superstition. Sehwag didn’t have a jersey number!! In the early part of his career, the right-hander used to wear jersey number 44. But then observing some patterns in his scores, Sehwag removed it and since then, there was a blank space behind his jersey.
The opener from Delhi scored over 8000 runs in ODI and tests with an attacking strike rate. In 2011 Sehwag broke Tendulkar’s record of the highest score in ODIs by smashing the West Indies bowlers all around the ground at Indore. Since his retirement in 2015, he has become a social media celebrity.
