After Chennai’s thumping win over Bangalore, Virender Sehwag took to his social media accounts to give his take on the result.

The duo put on 82 runs for the third wicket, however, it took them 68 balls to form their partnership.

Sehwag further said that he took a “power nap” during their partnership and when he woke up a while later, the two Bangalore batsmen “were still at the same place”.
