“Do you see a time when Indian players will be able to play in other T20 leagues?” Gilchrist asked.

Virender Sehwag’s response to the question was both swift and memorable. With a touch of a lighthearted overstatement, he remarked, “No, we don’t need to. We are rich people, we don’t go to poor countries for other leagues.”

Sehwag also recounted a moment when he turned down an offer from the BBL due to the offered amount being insufficient.

“I still remember when I was dropped from the Indian team and I was playing IPL. Then I got an offer from BBL that I should participate in the Big Bash, I said okay how much money, and they said $100,000.

“I said I could spend that money in my holidays, even last night’s bill was more than that,” the 45-year-old Sehwag jokingly revealed.
