In episode 8 of Viru ki Baithak, Virender Sehwag provided an entertaining insight in the Delhi vs Chennai clash, calling out MS Dhoni for a few questionable decisions. The former Delhi opener expressed his surprise after Prithvi Shaw was given a reprieve in the first over of the match. The 20-year-old nicked a Deepak Chahar delivery which was subsequently caught by the former Indian skipper behind the stumps.

However, Chennai failed to appeal, and Shaw was not out and made the most opportunity scoring a game-winning 64. In reference to Shaw's lifeline, Virender Sehwag used the famous dialogue from Netflix's Sacred Games, where protagonist Nawazuddin Siddique claims 'Kabhi Kabhi toh lagta hai apun hi Bhagwan hai' (translation: Sometimes, I feel like I'm a God). The 41-year-old also slammed Chennai spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Piyush Chawla who bowled expensive spells during the Dream11 IPL 2020 clash.

Speaking of the second innings, Virender Sehwag trolled Murali Vijay for his 'test match-like' batting while lauded Faf du Plessis, claiming the former South African skipper was the only player who looked to force the issue. The former Delhi star also slammed Dhoni's decision to come late down the order despite his team's struggled in the middle. Virender Sehwag joked that the Chennai captain was suggested to remain in quarantine for 14 overs before coming into bat and cheekily asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to convince the 39-year-old to promote himself to no.4. The former Punjab star lavished praise on the Delhi bowling attack, crediting them for their team's success. Virender Sehwag's comments come in after he had earlier suggested MS Dhoni to find his sixth bowler after his bowlers were taken to the cleaners in their defeat against Rajasthan.
