Virender Sehwag has a history of making controversial and harsh remarks as a commentator and cricket expert. From calling Virat Kohli a “chhamiya” (a bar dancer) to his “baap baap hota hai” comment during the India vs Pakistan match in the 2017 Champions Trophy, he’s often found himself in hot water. Once again, the legendary Indian opener has stirred the pot, this time targeting Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan.

Virender Sehwag feels Shakib Al Hasan should retire from T20I Cricket

Shakib Al Hasan has had a poor outing in the T20 World Cup 2024. In 2 matches so far, he has scored only 11 runs and is wicketless. Analyzing Shakib Al Hasan’s performances in the T20 World Cup, Virender Sehwag suggested that he should be disappointed with his recent numbers in T20I cricket and should consider retiring from the shortest format.

“During the last World Cup, I thought he should no longer be picked for the T20 format. Time for retirement came a long time ago. You are such a senior player, you were the captain of this team. You should actually be ashamed of your recent numbers. You should come forward and announce yourself that enough is enough, I’m retiring from this format,” said Virender Sehwag.

Sehwag also criticized Shakib’s approach while batting against South Africa on a fast pitch in New York. He mentioned that it was unwise for Shakib to attempt a pull shot, as it is not typically a strength of Bangladeshi players. Here’s the video of Shakib’s dismissal against Bangladesh.

“If you are picked in the World Cup squad for your experience, then show that it was actually worth it. You need to spend some time at the crease at least. You are not Adam Gilchrist or Matthew Hayden. Hooks and pulls are not your strengths You are a Bangladeshi player. You play according to your strength.” Sehwag added.
