Virender Sehwag Criticises Journalist Who Threatened Wriddhiman Saha; Offers Support To The Bengal Keeper

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has come to the defence of Indian wicket-keeper batter, Wriddhiman Saha, who received threatening messages from a journalist.

Saha shared screenshots of his chat with the journalist, who asked the 37-year-old for an interview. Upon receiving no response from Saha, the journalist claimed that he felt insulted and said that he will never interview Saha again.

As expected, the Indian cricketing community came to the aide of Saha, who has been serving the national team for quite a while. The Bengal wicket-keeper also received support from Sehwag, who tweeted that the journalist was feeling a sense of entitlement.

“Extremely sad. Such sense of entitlement, neither is he respected nor a journalist, just chamchagiri. With you Wriddhi.”

Here’s Virender Sehwag’s tweet:
