IPL2020, DC vs RCB: Virendra Sehwag calls Marcus Stoinis a 'special agent' and Rishab Pant 'atom bomb'

Cricket | Wednesday | 7th October, 2020

Former India opener Virender Sehwag had his own specific manner of doing things since the time he turned into the piece of Indian cricket. Regardless of whether it be singing while at the same time pounding the best bowlers on the planet or not tuning in to his captains and going for the kill from ball one, Sehwag was grinding away doing things another way without fail.

Virender Sehwag is a retired cricketer now yet he keeps on engaging his fans with his peculiar examination of the games. With IPL 2020 going on, Sehwag has additionally been in his own zone, summing up each game in his own design.

Subsequent to alluding to CSK star opener Shane Watson as 'Diesel motor' on Monday, Sehwag has now called Delhi Capitals' Marcus Stoinis a 'Specialist' and Rishabh Pant a 'Nuclear bomb'.

The two DC batsmen featured in Monday's down versus Virat Kohli-drove Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Stoinis and Pant sewed 89 runs off 43 balls together and wound up on singular scores of 53 (26) and 37 (25), individually. Delhi without a moment's delay was 3 down for 90 out of 11 overs yet they took their team's absolute to 196/4 toward the finish of 20 overs.

"It was as if Delhi's score has been suffocated. To fix it, 'Special Agent' Marcus Stoinis and 'Atom Bomb' Rishabh Pant arrived in. It was as if both of them save Delhi's government from falling. It seemed as if Stoinis had quarreled at home and come in to bat and took out all the anger on Bangalore bowlers and the ball. Agent Stoinis' successful operation took Delhi to 195," Sehwag said on his show 'Viru Ki Baithak'.

Further, Virender Sehwag said that it seemed as if the bad luck which has been following RCB for years had left but it came back suddenly against Shreyas Iyer's Delhi Capitals, who are sitting at the top of IPL 2020 after their 59-run win over RCB in Dubai.

"I am looking for the misfortune haunting Bangalore. It's been haunting Cheeku's (Virat Kohli's) team for so long. It seemed like Bangalore was finally rid of it but it came back suddenly. Embarrassed Kohli's team in front of Delhi. Ruined all the fun. Shreya Iyer's Delhi has come on the top of IPL 2020 points table".

Finch, AB de Villiers and Moeen were back to the pavilion by the end of 12th over and Kohli was left in the middle to battle alone against a very strong DC bowling attack. Virender Sehwag compared Kohli's situation to "Thakur' of Sholay. The character in the movie had lost both his hands.

"After Aaron Finch, Nortje got AB de Villiers. Then even Moeen Ali left. Having lost Jay, Veeru and Chachaji (Moeen Ali), Cheeku's condition was again like Thakur from Sholay," he said.

Final comment from Sehwag was reserved for Delhi pacer Kagiso Rabada, who is more of a road roller than a bowler according to the Sultan of Multan.

"Rabada then got Virat Kohli and told then he showed all the other batsmen that he is not a bowler but a road roller.

"So, the moral of the story is that even though Virat Kohli is from Delhi but it was Delhi itself yesterday which confounded Kohli," Sehwag concluded.
