Harbhajan shared the story with T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav, showcasing Sehwag's bold spirit and unshakable confidence in his unique, fearless style of play
Indian legend Virender Sehwag, known as one of the most carefree batsmen in cricket, earned a reputation for playing by his own rules, no matter the situation.
Known for his fearless strokeplay, Sehwag often turned a deaf ear to advice, even from icons like Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, who once urged him to tone down his aggressive batting.
Sehwag's autonomy extended beyond the pitch, as illustrated by an incident shared by former spinner Harbhajan Singh.
During a test match, Sehwag's lapse in fielding led to two runs being scored, prompting a scolding from Harbhajan. 'Lala, just dive, the ball went past you," Harbhajan had urged.
Sehwag's nonchalant reply was, 'Only two runs are lost, right? Come on, I will score two more runs." Harbhajan was left speechless by this response.
The story was recounted by Harbhajan Singh to Indian T20 team captain Suryakumar Yadav on his show, highlighting Sehwag's indomitable spirit and unwavering self-assuredness in his style of play.

Isha Ambani Bandhani Gown: Everyone is talking about this pink dress of Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani's daughter due to...

When Esha Ambani steps out, she doesn't just wear fashion; she tells a story. And this time, the story is stitched in tradition and drama. Her latest appearance in a custom Roberto Cavalli gown left fashion enthusiasts breathless. Designed by Fausto Puglisi, the creative head at the luxury Italian house, the gown is a stunning blend of Indian heritage and international glam. The real magic? It's not just luxury, it's legacy. The gown uses the traditional Bandhani dye technique from Kutch, Gujarat. The fabric was painstakingly hand-crafted by Indian artisans, months in the making, and is a celebration of deep-rooted culture presented on a global stage. Is this just Fashion or cultural diplomacy? More than a fashion moment, this is Esha doing what she does best, championing Indian craftsmanship on the world map. For years now, she's been an understated ambassador of Indian textiles. Her fashion isn't loud; it whispers of lineage, labour, and love. Stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania points out that this look subtly nods to the 2012 'Project Renaissance' by Vogue India and Roberto Cavalli, which explored how Indian handlooms could elevate luxury fashion. This past collaboration likely informed the gown's creative direction too, blending nostalgia with novelty. But what about the jewellery? Of course, the look wasn't complete without exquisite jewels, it's the Ambani way. Esha paired her gown with statement earrings by Hanut Singh, featuring noble pink sapphires, emeralds, diamonds, and intricate enamel detailing. She kept the rest minimal, a few carefully chosen rings that allowed the gown's embroidery to shine through, adding just the right amount of sparkle to the modern-maharani vibe. Esha Ambani isn't just wearing couture, she's curating it. Each piece she dons is part of a larger dialogue: one that brings India's craft to global conversations in subtle but unforgettable ways.

ENG vs IND 4th Test: Anshul Kamboj becomes 318th player to debut for India

There's a saying that one loss is always someone else's gain. While the context here might not represent a happy gain, it is certainly a monumental one. Indian cricket suffered a major blow ahead of the Manchester Test when their in-form pacer Akash Deep and back-up pacer Arshdeep Singh were ruled out of the match due to separate injuries. This forced the BCCI to add 24-year-old Haryana cricketer Anshul Kamboj to the main squad. But as fate would have it, the pacer—despite being added at the last minute—has been handed his maiden Test cap for the all-important Manchester Test, becoming the 318th cricketer to represent India in the longest format of the game. He was in contention for the spot alongside Prasidh Krishna, but Krishna's disappointing performance in the first two Tests resulted in him losing the spot to Kamboj. On the path of the legend Anshul Kamboj's debut against England in the fourth Test makes him only the second Indian player to make his Test debut in Manchester. Before him, Anil Kumble made his Test debut in Manchester back in 1990. Notably, these two players are also the only Indian cricketers to have taken a 10-wicket haul in an innings in first-class cricket. Kamboj shot to fame through IPL 2025 Despite being one of the most consistent players in the domestic circuit in recent years, it was his IPL 2025 stint with Chennai Super Kings that helped Kamboj make headlines. He played eight matches for CSK in IPL 2025, where he took eight wickets at an average of 21.50. However, his IPL debut came back in 2024 for Mumbai Indians, where he played just three matches and picked up two wickets. Although he does not have a pile of wickets to show for it, his line and length have been highly praised by cricket fans and experts, which earned him a place in India's Test squad. Kamboj's first big achievement Anshul Kamboj's rapid ascent in Indian domestic cricket is no fluke—it is rooted in performances that command recognition. His defining moment came during the 2024–25 Ranji Trophy, where he produced a historic 10-wicket innings (10/49) against Kerala. With that spell, he joined an elite club of just three bowlers—alongside Premangsu Chatterjee and Pradeep Sundaram—to claim all ten wickets in a Ranji innings. The feat didn't just showcase his red-ball brilliance; it also cemented his reputation as one of the most potent medium-pacers in the country's domestic circuit. Anshul Kamboj's career stats so far Statistic FC LA T20 Matches 22 25 24 Runs scored 410 55 55 Batting average 14.64 9.16 18.33 100s/50s 0/0 0/0 0/0 Top score 46 19* 17 Balls bowled 3236 1170 419 Wickets 74 40 28 Bowling average 22.66 20 19.85 5 wickets in innings 2 0 0 10 wickets in match 1 – – Best bowling 10/49 4/22 3/12 Catches/Stumpings 10/– 8/– 9/–
