Arch-rivals former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar and ex India opener Virender Sehwag can’t keep their hands off each other for a long time. The two have always involved in some healthy banter on and off-field and are extremely active on social media platforms. Known for his speed and free-spirited nature, Shoaib Akhtar has been a massive hit on Youtube in recent years and took a jibe at Sehwag in one of his latest posts.
Akhtar’s remark
Shoaib Akhtar recently posted a video on his Youtube channel in which he is seen replying to Virender Sehwag’s comment that dates back to 2016. Here’s what the Rawalpindi Express said-
“My answer to Virender Sehwag is that I have more money than he has hair on his head. I am very happy that my words are given so much importance and what I say becomes breaking news,”
Akhtar’s remark came after an old video of Virender Sehwag started doing rounds on social media in which he said that the former Pakistani fast bowler praises arch-rivals India as it “makes a quick buck”.

Here’s Sehwag’s remark from 2016 –
“Shoaib Akhtar’s become a good friend of ours as he needs business in India so he has to praise us. If you look at any Shoaib Akhtar interview, you’ll notice he’s saying so many things in praise of India which he would not have said in his playing days,”
