During a recent conversation with former Australia cricketer Adam Gilchrist, Virender Sehwag disclosed that he had once been offered $100,000 to participate in the Big Bash League (BBL). However, Sehwag declined the offer, stating that Indian cricketers ‘are rich people, we don’t go to poor countries.’
Sehwag’s witty response has garnered attention on social media, with many users expressing amusement at his candidness. Some have also pointed out the financial disparity between the Indian Premier League (IPL) and other T20 leagues, which may be a factor in Indian players’ limited participation in overseas competitions.
Currently, Sehwag serves as a cricket expert for the ongoing IPL 2024. His insights and humorous commentary have made him a popular figure among cricket fans and enthusiasts.
