Cricket News Desk. Former Team India explosive batsman Virender Sehwag became very famous for his batting during his career. Even after retiring from cricket, he remains in the discussion for his commentary. The reason for this is his funny style, which has also become very popular among the fans. But many times Sehwag gets caught in controversies due to such statements. The same happened to him in IPL 2025, where his comments for 2 consecutive days confused people. Earlier Sehwag came into controversy by making a statement on Jats, now he has shocked everyone by saying that Gujarat Titans star Afghan all -rounder Rashid Khan comes after drinking petrol.

The contest between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals took place in Ahmedabad on Wednesday 9 April. Gujarat batted first in this match. Opener Sai Sudarshan played another brilliant innings for him. After Sudarshan, Shah Rukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan also played a small but fast innings in the middle and lower order and brought the team to 200 runs. During this time something happened that Sehwag said that Rashid Khan has come down after drinking petrol.

Sehwag's shocking comment on Rashid
Actually, Rashid Khan came out to bat in the 19th over of the innings. This all -rounder made a stormy start with a six off the first ball. Rashid hit a brilliant four on the next ball. He tried the same on the third ball but this time the ball did not reach the boundary. But Rashid was trying to score every run and hence he finished 2 runs quickly. Rashid ran so fast that not only the fielders but also the commentator were surprised by his pace. Then Sehwag, who is doing Hindi commentary, said, “Rashid Khan must have come to drink petrol, then he is running so fast.”

A day earlier, during the match between Lucknow Super Gynts and Kolkata Knight Riders, Sehwag said that the language of Jats of Delhi, Haryana and UP may be different but they are all mentally deranged. Sehwag faced strong criticism for this statement.
