Virender Sehwag: A Pakistani cricketer once asked me to sing a song

 Indian batsman Virender Sehwag while batting on 150 was once asked to sing a song by a Pakistani fielder.

Sehwag, who was considered as one of the most destructive opening batsmen that India ever produced, shared a recent chat with ‘Cric-buzz’ that he loved singing songs while batting.

While batting, he often sang Bollywood songs. When asked, whether or not someone ever heard him singing? he described a funny incident.

"When I used to play, no one ever heard me singing while playing cricket however it has happened once in a Pakistan-India series, I was batting in Bangalore at 150.

 Yasir Hameed while fielding at short leg asked me, Viru bhai, you sing during batting? I replied yes of course. This was then Yasir asked me to sing Kishor Kumar song.

So, he added, I entertained Pakistani cricketers not only with my batting but also with my singing.

He chose his songs according to the team’s situation. Sehwag said, when I was scoring good and the team was about to win, so I would sing Chittiyan Kalaiyaan but in its vice versa he used to sing Bhagwan ke Bhanjan.

My most favorite song while batting was, taraane lie, chala jaata hoon kisi k dil mein. Indian cricketer Sehwag said that I used to sing these songs irrespective of the mood since it would lift my mood altogether.
