Virender Sehwag has certainly destroyed every bowling attack of the world and was a nightmare for the bowlers during his playing days. The Nawab of Najafgarh had his eyes set on the balls which were slightly outside the off stump and they were sky rocketed to the boundary in seconds. Sehwag once said in an interview that balls are meant to be hit and through this you can imagine the amount of rivalry his bat had with the cricket ball.
Sehwag dismantled almost every bowler in his International career and fear was not a word in his dictionary but he has finally stepped forward and revealed the most scariest bowler he ever faced in his entire career.
“If there is one bowler I was scared of it was Shoaib Akhtar. You didn’t know which ball he would hit on your shoe and which one on your head. And he has hit many bouncers on my head. I was scared of him but had fun hitting balls from him too.” Sehwag said in a live video chat hosted by UC News.
Virat Kohli once said in 2011 “Shoaib Akhtar was really quick” and this was the time when “Rawalpindi Express” was on the brink of retirement. One can imagine the speed and skills of Shoaib when he was at peak during the rise of Virender Sehwag in early 20’s.
