Sehwag defends RCB loss to SRH

2 min readMay 23, 2026 11:50 AM IST Former India opener Virender Sehwag defended Royal Challengers Bengaluru despite their stinging 55-run defeat to the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their final IPL 2026 league-stage game in Hyderabad on Friday. Stepping out to safeguard their top spot in the standings and not concede a defeat in excess of 90 runs to lose a Qualifier 1 spot to SRH, RCB played out a 256-run chase in a unique fashion. Barring the Powerplay, RCB did not ever press into top gear during the chase. A quickfire 44 from Venkatesh Iyer set the innings in motion even when star batter Virat Kohli fell cheaply on 15. On the back of skipper Rajat Patidar’s half-century, RCB finished on 200 in 20 overs, despite only losing four wickets. Despite the spectacular batting, hosts Hyderabad then settled for third spot on Net Run Rate.

3 min readApr 27, 2026 05:36 PM IST Lucknow Super Giants have slipped right to the bottom of teh 2026 IPL table with a Super Over defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders. LSG have just two wins out of eight matches and the defeat on Sunday was their fifth one on the trot. On Sunday, Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant won the toss and opted to field first. Former India batter Virender Sehwag has slammed the decision and questioned LSG’s star-studded backroom staff of head coach Justin Langer as well director of cricket Tom Moody and strategic advisor Kane Williamson for the call considering how poorly the team’s equally star-studded batting lineup has performed. “Lucknow Super Giants once again failed to chase down a total in this IPL. I just don’t understand. You have a Director of Cricket and a coach. Kane Williamson, Justin Langer and Tom Moody are all there. Inka kya dimag nahi chalta? (What are they thinking?) Are they not able to see how their team has been performing? The team is …

Sehwag on Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s controversial dismissal

5 min readApr 27, 2026 03:00 PM IST With his dismissal in the match against Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday evening, Kolkata Knight Riders batsman Angkrish Raghuvanshi became only the fourth batter in IPL history to be given out for obstructing the field. In the match, which KKR won eventually in a super-over, Raghuvanshi punched a Prince Yadav delivery towards mid-on and started to take a run only to be sent back by Cameron Green. With fielder Mohammad Shami aiming for the strikers’ end, the ball hit a diving Raghuvanshi, with the third umpire adjudging Raghuvanshi to be out. The KKR batter soon joined the likes of Yusuf Pathan (2013), Amit Mishra (2019) and Ravindra Jadeja (2024) to be adjudged out while obstructing the field. Former India opener Virender Sehwag believes a harsh decision was made by the umpire in Raghuvanshi’s case, and the batsman was ‘not out’ in his eyes. “Every batsman looks at the fielder when the ball goes to them. You take one run, you take two runs, and you see which …

India begin their quest to become the first side ever to defend the World T20 title against the USA on Friday. Doing so would also make them the first team to win it at home. Raving about their chances, former India opener Sehwag said that the 2026 side is even better than the 2007 side, led by MS Dhoni, that won the inaugural edition of the event. He believes the team has the right combination and balance, as well as some X-factor players in both batting and bowling departments. “The Indian team is very good. And they are performing very well under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav,” Sehwag told Cricbuzz. “There’s a lot of experience and some young players too. And they rightly say that there is no better combination of experience …

Titled “Dosti ki Hattrick,” the episode featured legendary former Indian cricketers Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, and Mohammad Kaif as guests, and it was a blast as the trio recalled hilarious stories from their time together on and off the field. During the conversation, cricketer-turned-television personality Navjot Singh Sidhu, who serves as a permanent guest on the show along with Archana Puran Singh, quipped that the friendship Yuvraj, Sehwag, and Kaif share is quite different from normal ones. “They don’t meet in the mornings. They meet in the evening, after the game is over, like cheetahs returning from a hunt,” Sidhu quipped, as Kaif playfully warned him not to crack double-meaning jokes. “Whatever you have to say, keep it direct and to the point. We’ll add a beep if needed.” Hearing this, Sehwag suddenly jumped …

Main sunta sab ki tha par karta apni tha (I listened to all of them, but I charted my own course).” He added, “Now that I am a coach, I know exactly what the player in front of me is thinking that ‘he will bark a lot and then leave.’ So what …

Former Pakistan cricketer pleads with folded hands after Sahibzada Farhan picks Ahmed Shehzad over Sachin, Sehwag

Published by Parlour News

Pakistan batter Sahibzada Farhan became the butt of all jokes after making a weird pick in a this-or-that questionnaire. In a bizarre selection, the batter opted for former Pakistan batter Ahmed Shehzad over the likes of legends Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag. Shehzad, a former opener, played 13 Tests, 81 ODIs, and 59 T20Is for Pakistan. Although he showed promise, scoring 5058 runs, his career never really took off. Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag were down in the pecking order in Sahibzada Farhan’s list. (AFP) “Ahmed Shehzad is someone I used to follow. I was his fan and started my cricket after watching him,” he said. Which is why Farhan’s pick was all the more baffling. If his infamous gunshot celebration against India in the Asia Cup wasn’t controversial enough, Farhan really stirred the pot with his choice, leaving one and all surprised. In fact, Former Pakistan cricketers Basit Ali and Kamran Akmal couldn’t believe what they saw as a video clip went viral, with the former expressing his disbelief at Farhan’s comment. “This is …

‘He disappointed me with his bowling changes’: Virender Sehwag on MI captain Hardik Pandya | Ipl News

Former India batter Virender Sehwag was left disappointed by Hardik Pandya’s decision to continue with Deepak Chahar for 2 more overs after the bowler had faced discomfort bowling his first due to a hamstring issue which led to strapping his leg during the match against Punjab Kings. Sehwag said that if Pandya had brought himself or Jasprit Bumrah to bowl the two overs instead of Chahar, Punjab could have been kept under pressure. “I said this in the commentary box also that when Deepak Chahar had a problem with his hamstring, he made him bowl 2 overs. He had bowled a maiden in his first over but then conceded 28 runs from the next two overs. It was here where the match shifted in favour of Punjab. If he had given the ball to Bumrah or himself (Hardik) or Ashwani Kumar at that time, they wouldn’t have conceded the 17 runs that went in that over. It would put the pressure on Punjab. As a captain he (Hardik) disappointed me with his bowling changes,” Sehwag …

Virender Sehwag Questions Virat Kohli’s Retirement Call Again: “Could’ve Played Easily…”

Published by Webster

Legendary Indian cricket team batter Virender Sehwag once again questioned Virat Kohli‘s decision to announce his retirement from Tests. Following Kohli’s 25-ball-43 knock for Royal Challengers Bengaluru during the IPL 2025 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Sehwag said that the star batter could have easily played for two more years considering his level of fitness. Kohli decided to bid farewell to the format ahead of the five-match series against England but Sehwag maintained that he had two more years in him. “Definitely. I feel he retired too early from the Test format. He could’ve played easily for two years, the way he maintains fitness. But only Virat Kohli can tell the reasons behind the decision. It’s a player’s personal decision based on his will, or whether he feels exhausted,” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz. “But according to me, the way he played, and the way he showed energy, it feels he could’ve easily played for two years,” he added while analysing Virat’s performance after the encounter.
