Sehwag brings a cricket lesson into reality television
Virender Sehwag told Rise and Fall 2 contestants about Shoaib Akhtar's sledging in his first match.
While addressing the conflict between Gautam Gulati and Manish Kashyap on Rise and Fall 2, Sehwag recalled being sledged by Shoaib Akhtar in his first match in 1999, when he was 20. He said he answered by later scoring 309 runs against Pakistan: "my bat did all the talking".
His message was that performance should answer provocation. It was a recognisably Sehwag response to a noisy situation: stop spending all your energy arguing and demonstrate what you can do.
