MS Dhoni-led Chennai trumped over Punjab by 9 wickets in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, November 1 in the 53rd match of the ongoing Dream11 Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020) season. As has been the case throughout the tournament this year, ex-Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag once again gave his take on the recently-concluded game as part of his social media show Viru Ki Baithak. Through his most recent episode, the former Indian opening batsman jokingly mocked Chennai’s exit from the tournament as they managed to register only six wins from their 14 league matches.

Dream11 IPL 2020: Virender Sehwag trolls MS Dhoni after rare seasonal failure

On Monday, November 2, i.e. one day after Chennai’s emphatic victory over Punjab, Virender Sehwag jokingly asked an off-screen character, “Have Chennai’s tickets to India been booked yet?”. The aforementioned joke was in reference to Chennai becoming the first side of the season to get eliminated from the playoffs race. Sehwag later also mocked Punjab and Rajasthan in the same manner as they became the second and third teams respectively to get knocked out of the competition’s final four race.

Moreover, during an interactive Q&A session with his fans, a certain user asked Virender Sehwag to reveal his favourite Indian captain of all time. Despite winning the 2011 World Cup under the leadership of former cricketer MS Dhoni, he picked Sourav Ganguly as his favourite. Sehwag revealed that he prefers Ganguly because ‘The Prince of Kolkata’ recruited many youngsters during his captaincy reign and led India to Test wins in tough countries like Australia and England.
