During the outbreak of the COVID-19, Virender Sehwag was in Mumbai playing in the Road Safety World Series 2020. The dashing opener had shown what he is still capable with a match-winning century in the opening match against West Indies legends. His side, India Legends, was led by Sachin Tendulkar and the likes of Zaheer Khan, Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, Mohammad Kaif were also part of the team.

The tournament was attracting huge crowds during the matches but unfortunately, the tournament came to an abrupt end. After the outbreak, there were restrictions from the state government of Maharashtra. A few matches were played behind the doors before the tournament was cancelled altogether. For now, it has been reported that the tournament will take place sometime else when the threat of coronavirus has been dealt with.
