When it comes to smashing the cricket ball, there are only a few cricketers who can make it look as easy as Virender Sehwag. The former Indian swash-buckling opener was known for his aggressive style of batting. Easily one of the world’s fiercest hitters, despite retirement Sehwag continues to be a nightmare for opposition bowlers. He was seen rolling back the years in the Karnataka Chalanachitra Cup (KCC) where he returned to the cricket pitch and smashed a few big ones out of the park.
Reminiscing his preferred style of batting, Sehwag posted a televised video on his Twitter account where he was seen smashing sixes in a friendly cricket match. He was playing for the Kadamba Lions in the tournament, a team led by south Indian actor Kichcha Sudeep. The Karnataka Chalanachitra Cup is a two-day tournament with the likes of Herschelle Gibbs, Owais Shah, Tillakaratne Dilshan participating along with some prominent South Indian actors.
