6. When he struck a six while singing a song and made batting look ridiculously easy:
We all know Virender Sehwag’s love for Hindi songs. His batting partners, mostly his Delhi teammate and fellow team India opener, Gautam Gambhir has often talked about Sehwag humming innumerable Kishore Kumar, Sonu Nigam, Atif Aslam melodies while sending the ball out of the park.
Cricket fans had only heard of this routine till Sehwag gave them a little sneak peak. It happened during the All Stars Cricket Series in USA last year. Sehwag was batting for Sachin’s blasters and had the microphone on as he was talking to the commentators in between deliveries. During the conversation and just as Alan Donald started his run up, Sehwag was heard humming a few lines Atif Aslam’s famous Bollywood track, “Tu Jaane Naa.’’ As the ball was bowled, Sehwag whipped it off his feet effortlessly for a six over square leg.
Fans were stunned at how easy Sehwag made batting look there. Those who were not aware of Sehwag’s habit of singing while batting were left in awe. Little did they know how Sehwag has been doing it since the start of his career. Recently on twitter, Sehwag mentioned that he enjoyed singing Sonu Nigam’s “Ab Mujhe Raat Din” while scoring 165 against South Africa in the Kolkata Test in 2010.
