Former Indian cricketers Virender Sehwag and Navjot Singh Sidhu fought on Live TV while commentating during the 21st match of the ongoing IPL 2025 between Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Tuesday, April 8.
Navjot Singh Sidhu is known for his colorful and poetic commentary, blending humor and wit perfectly with the on-field actions. However, during the IPL 2025 clash between KKR and LSG, Virender Sehwag managed to outshine the veteran broadcaster with his sharp jibe.

As Sehwag is known for his straightforward, playful, and blunt commentary style, the former Indian opener didn’t take time to launch a sharp attack on Sidhu when he was singing his own praises at the commentary box during the KKR versus LSG encounter in Kolkata.
As the discussion was going on, Sidhu said, “No matter what you do, I stand by my word. I'm true to my word and never back down” before reminding Sehwag of the famous historical line “raghukul reet sada chalee aaee, praan jaaye par vachan na jaee.”

After listening to Sidhu’s long-winded talk, Virender Sehwag exposed it all with just one line in perfect Viru style. Openly trolling Sidhu for his fickle emotions, Sehwag said, “We’ve seen how firm you really are. In every IPL match, your emotions change from one innings to the next.”
And the funniest part was that the former Indian batter and commentator Aakash Chopra, sitting between Virender Sehwag and Sidhu, was thoroughly enjoying their banter from both sides. Now, the clip of Sehwag’s bouncer on Sidhu’s face is going viral across social media platforms.
