NEW DELHI: Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly and batsman Virender Sehwag got involved in a hilarious conversation about their ability to run between the wickets while doing commentary during one of India’s matches in the ongoing Champions Trophy. Ganguly hailed Indian captain Virat Kohli’s running between the wickets, to which Sehwag promptly replied by saying that one of his earlier teammates too was a brilliant runner between the wickets. Ganguly immediately replied by back by saying that he was indeed quick between the wickets. “Absolutely, I used to run very fast between the wickets,” Ganguly said. Sehwag then responded in the most of the hilarious manner and compared Ganguly’s running to Kohli’s. “If only you could run as fast as Kohli,” Sehwag added. Hearing Sehwag’s reply, Ganguly went on to challenge him for a 100-meter race. “Whoever is watching this broadcast, I want to challenge Viru in front of you’ll. After this tournament ends, we shall meet at The Oval and have a 100-meter race,” Ganguly said. “Dada you will have to cover those 100 meters in the first place,” Sehwag responded. “I shall do that easily, and also provide you with two physios. This is a misunderstanding and rumour that you have spread among our viewers, our team, and us ex-cricketers. I’d like to show these statistics to our viewers,” Ganguly said. Contradicting Sehwag’s claims, Ganguly came up with a stat that suggested his percentage of stealing singles was surely more than Sehwag’s. “Sourav Ganguly’s singles percentage was 36 and Virender Sehwag’s was 24. And you’re criticising my ability to run between the wickets?”
