During
the
three-day
carnival,
cricket
writer
and
commentator
Vikram
Sathaye
hosted
a
chat
show,
Pitch-Ed
Battles,
where
cricketers
famous
for
their
rivalries
would
come
together
for
a
candid
conversation.
This
chat
show
was
kicked
off
by
two
very
popular
former
cricketers
Virender
Sehwag
and
Shoaib
Akhtar.
While
both
the
cricketers
are
known
for
their
on-field
rivalry,
they
revealed
during
Glance
Live
Fest
that
they
have
a
lot
of
respect
for
each
other.
They
talked
about
incidents
where
they
supported
each
other,
even
though
they
were
on
opposing
teams.
In
fact,
Shoaib
Akhtar
revealed
how
he
once
saw
Virender
Sehwag
upset
during
a
particular
series
wherein
he
was
about
to
be
dropped
from
a
match,
but
Akhtar
consoled
him
and
said
that
dropping
Sehwag
from
the
match
would
be
a
big
mistake
by
the
Indian
team.
His
words
truly
touched
him,
and
the
cricketers
mentioned
that
this
was
one
of
the
many
‘bhai-valry’ moments
which
they
have
shared
across
their
careers.
The
host,
Vikram
Sathaye,
also
gave
them
the
challenge
to
make
a
pitch
for
each
other
in
thirty
seconds
or
less.
Shoaib
Akhtar
described
Virender
Sehwag
as
a
destructive
force
who
always
ensured
the
scoreboard
was
on
top,
while
Virender
Sehwag
said
that
there
has
been
nobody
like
Shoaib
Akhtar
who
has
come
before
and
nobody
like
him
will
come
again.
The
duo
also
made
some
interesting
revelations
like
why
Sehwag
decided
to
drop
the
number
44
from
his
jersey
after
being
persuaded
by
his
mother
and
wife
that
it
was
an
unlucky
number
and
how
Shoaib
got
the
name
Rawalpindi
Express
due
to
his
high-speed
deliveries
which
were
similar
to
the
speed
of
the
fastest
train
in
Pakistan.
Virender
Sehwag
also
went
on
to
reveal
how
he
would
listen
to
his
favourite
song,
Chala
Jata
Hoon
by
Kishore
Kumar,
in
the
dressing
room
during
every
match
along
with
similar
songs
from
the
same
era
and
also
used
to
sing
songs
on
the
pitch
at
times,
even
while
batting!
On
the
other
hand,
Akhtar
revealed
that
he
worked
on
his
autobiography
for
a
long
time,
and
it
was
titled
‘Controversially
Yours’
due
to
the
nature
of
publicity
that
always
followed
him.
All
in
all,
the
episode
of
Pitch-Ed
Battles
was
full
of
fun
memories,
interesting
anecdotes
and
beautifully
showcased
the
bhai-valry
of
Virender
Sehwag
and
Shoaib
Akhtar.
