“We were at a function. Shoaib tried lifting Tendulkar who wasn’t lightweight. However, in his attempt resulted in both Shoaib and Tendulkar taking a tumble. His (Akhtar’s) expression changed. I warned him how BCCI will now complain with the PCB about this incident involving their top player and you will be thrown out of the team. Your career is finished. He requested Sachin to keep the incident to himself and not complain while apologizing. Even today whenever Sachin paaji and I meet, we recall that incident.” said Virender Sehwag.

Virender Sehwag made it clear that such sort of things happen between players and there are no differences between them.

“See we are friends. We have the right to be able to do so, it’s fun. It also helps in getting business. I often tell about my equation with Akhtar so it helps in us working together (commentary, chat shows etc). A documentary is being made on India-Pakistan and I recommended that Akhtar must be a part of it because we have a good bond and people are going to like what we’ll talk about.” said Virender Sehwag.

“Something happens to him when on camera. He’s different off-camera. He jokes around quite a lot. But on camera, he’s a different character,” he added.
