Social media platforms have literally bridged the gap between the personal lives of our favorite celebrities and us. Be it the sportive persona, or the social life of them, everything is all in front of our eyes.
While cricket is one of the World’s most loved sport, there are so many fine players from different countries, when it comes to India, starting with the veteran cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, and Virender Sehwag, the list goes onto including the so-called-rival team Australian batsmen like Adam Gilchrist, Brett Lee etc.
Bygones are bygones, the crazy fights between both the countries’ players, fans are always there, but at the end of the day, we prefer loving both. The early 2000’s cricket team of India and other countries is always every 1990s kids favorite. We all know how much we loved cricket those days, on a note, the current team is too good, but, it’s different.
Out of many ace cricketers, Australian Batsman Adam Gilchrist and Indian hitman Virender Sehwag are among those who can give sleepless nights to the bowlers. Imagine both together making funny comments and tweets on each other! well, isn’t that soo good!
And, it actually happened. On Sunday, Gilchrist took to Twitter to recall the hitting prowess of the former India opener. The former Australian wicketkeeper-batsman posted about an incident during an India vs Australia series and captioned his message, “Let’s face it… @virendersehwag could create an odd headache for an opposition attack”.

That was not it! the real thing happened when Gilchrist was asked something about Sehwag, it happened while the match is running parallel to the interview.
Gilchrist was asked during one such series if the Aussies had any plan to stop Sehwag, to which his answer was quite modest and sarcastic, he said, “Yes, we have planned to lock him in the hotel room.”
While they both share a fine bonding off the field, it was this answer from Gilchrist that confirmed his being humble and ground to earth stature. Netizens went appreciating both of them, some went saying that Gilchrist is as good as Sehwag in giving nightmares to the bowlers.
