10 most arrogant statements by cricketers

10) Virender Sehwag- Bangladesh are an ordinary side

Virender Sehwag is considered as one of the most explosive openers of all time. He managed to gain a lot of fans during his playing days. However, he was also famous for making blunt statements.

He made this statement almost a decade ago just before India’s Test series against Bangladesh. “Bangladesh are an ordinary side. They can’t beat India because they can’t take 20 wickets,” was what he said. When asked by a journalist if Bangladesh could surprise India he said, “No. They can’t beat us in Test matches,” Sehwag said. “They can surprise you in ODIs but not in Tests.”

Sehwag sounded pretty arrogant and one shouldn’t underestimate their opponents no matter what. When asked why he said that, he replied saying “Because they can’t take 20 Indian wickets. Even Sri Lanka found it difficult. Bangladesh can’t. They are an ordinary side.” Sehwag was criticized for this statement.
