Virender Sehwag, a legendary Indian cricketer, disclosed that he was offered a hefty $100,000 contract to play in the Big Bash League (BBL) in Australia. However, Sehwag turned down the offer, stating that Indian cricketers are financially secure and do not need to participate in foreign leagues for monetary reasons. Sehwag made this revelation during a conversation with Australian cricketing great Adam Gilchrist. The former Indian opener also expressed his belief that Indian players do not need to play in other T20 leagues because they have ample financial resources in India. Sehwag is currently working as a pundit for the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and has been providing expert analysis and opinions on the participating players and franchises.
