Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) played in 2025 Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders may have a competition on the field during the match, but a different ‘inning’ was also going on in the commentary box. Former Indian explosive batsman Virender Sehwag took out fierce fierce on Chennai’s strategy, batting and players during the commentary. His impeccable remarks have launched a debate on social media.
Sehwag’s strict response
Sehwag openly targeted the poor batting of Chennai Super Kings. He said that the attitude of the team was very poor and negative. Neither the introduction nor any concrete strategy showed in batting. According to Sehwag, the approach of the team seemed as if the defeat was accepted.
Questions raised on Shivam Dubey’s strategy
Sehwag looked the most angry about Shivam Dubey’s batting style. He said, “Shivam Dubey’s brain is fed. Sehwag further said, “Until the mind does not work, the bat will not work. Dubey’s thinking was seen missing during the match.”
Questions raised on emotional reaction about Dhoni
When MS Dhoni landed on the field after Chennai fell seven wickets, the echo of ‘Dhoni-Dhoni’ began to be heard in the stadium including the commentary box. To this, Sehwag asked, “Why do people become so emotional for Dhoni? Is it right to expect every time?” His gesture was that the players should be assessed on the basis of performance.
“Chennai did not hit a single six”
Sehwag put Chennai’s batting even further, saying, “The Chennai team did not hit a single six in the entire match, while Kolkata hit two sixes in the first two overs. The pitch was not bad, the intentions were bad.”
