“Here is where i took my batting inspiration from,” Sehwag tweeted
Former India opener Virender Sehwag took to Twitter to reveal the inspiration behind his batting. But if you are thinking the swashbuckling batsman was referring to Sunil Gavaskar or Viv Richards or any other batting great, you would be mistaken. Sehwag tweeted a photo of a scene from the iconic ‘Ramayan’ TV show, a rerun of which is now being shown on Doordarshan, and wrote, “So here is where i took my batting inspiration from.” The photo is a scene from Ravan’s court, where Angad – the son of Bali and a member of the Vanara sena – is standing strong as one of Ravan’s generals tries to move his feet as part of a challenge.

“Pair hilana mushkil hi nahi , namumkin hai (moving his foot is not just a difficult task, it is impossible),” Sehwag added, citing a line from the famous Hindi movie ‘Don’. “#Angad ji Rocks,” he concluded.
