Speaking on the much talked about clash between Mumbai and Bangalore, Virender Sehwag lauded Devdutt Padikkal and Josh Philippe for providing the team with a flying start. He also pointed out that Virat Kohli was visibly struggling to time the ball, and his early dismissal proved to be a concern for the team. Sehwag appreciated Mumbai speedster Jasprit Bumrah for bowling a double-wicket maiden. The 26-year-old fast bowler dismissed Shivam Dube and the well-set Devdutt Padikkal in the 17th over, without leaking a single run.

On Mumbai's successful chase, Virender Sehwag described the importance of Suryakumar Yadav's innings. Despite a decent start, Ishan Kishan and Quinton de Kock were dismissed in quick succession, and the onus was on Suryakumar Yadav to see his side through in the crucial encounter. With Saurabh Tiwary falling cheaply too, Sehwag opined that Yadav anchored the innings exceedingly well and his knock of 79* helped Mumbai trump Bangalore in Abu Dhabi. He was also seen asking about a ticket to Australia, presumably a reference to Suryakumar Yadav's India snub.

Responding to a fan's question regarding Sam Curran's future in the Dream11 IPL, Sehwag compared the English all-rounder to a diamond. He feels the 22-year-old's services have been utilized effectively by the Chennai think tank in all the departments. The same will reap more benefits in the coming seasons for the franchise, as his Dream11 IPL 2020 stint is bound to make him a better cricketer.
