Follow UsFormer Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag continued his attack against Punjab Kings (PBKS) all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, stating that the Australian only comes to India to spend his holidays. Sehwag didn’t just attack Maxwell; he even insulted English all-rounder Liam Livingstone, insisting that the all-rounder isn’t passionate about winning games for his franchise, RCB.
"Maxwell, Livingstone have no hunger anymore. They come to India to spend their holidays. It's not like they love their teams, or that they are passionate about winning games for them. That they have not won a trophy yet and they have to get it done this year," Virender Sehwag said on Sunday, April 20, on Cricbuzz.
Sehwag, who has been part of the PBKS setup previously, reckoned that very few overseas cricketers have the passion, and others just ‘talk’.
"I have played with a lot of overseas players, out of which maybe one or two of them had the hunger. These other guys only talk and do not show any performance on the field," he further added.
During his time with the Delhi Daredevils, Sehwag brushed shoulders with the likes of David Warner, AB de Villiers and Glenn McGrath, whom he hails as genuine match-winners. But in saying that, Sehwag also revealed that West Indian players and Sri Lankan players only cared about ‘partying’.
"David Warner, AB de Villiers and Glenn McGrath are the three players who used to tell me, 'I will win games for you, play me.' I used to be in a fix about whom to play and whom to drop. But I have seen other players — West Indians, Sri Lankans — who used to ask after the semi-finals, 'Where's the party tonight?' That's when you get to know who wants to win trophies and who is here to chill," Sehwag concluded.
