Virender Sehwag also answered a few questions at the end of the episode in what has become a custom of sorts for him during the show daily. One of the fans asked Virender Sehwag if he feels Kedar Jadhav should be kept in Chennai's playing XI for the game against Bangalore on Saturday.

Virender Sehwag's latest comments on Kedar Jadhav come as a surprise considering that the Indian veteran had recently insulted the Chennai batsman on his show after the Yellow Army's loss against Kolkata. With 39 needed off 21 balls, Kedar Jadhav, who was sent ahead of Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo, could manage to score only 7 runs off 12 balls. In fact, Kedar Jadhav scored his first run off his sixth ball when the required rate was over 12 runs per over.

Virender Sehwag called Kedar Jadhav 'useless decoration' in Hindi. Virender Sehwag added that forget about scoring boundaries, Jadhav didn't even want to take singles. According to Virender Sehwag, the real 'Man of the Match' was Kedar Jadhav, much like what fans have been claiming on social media sarcastically.
