Virender Sehwag James Pattinson fight I When Virender Sehwag raised his bat to warn James Pattinson after heated on field clash

New Delhi: Team India’s former explosive opener Virender Sehwag was known for his aggressive batting. Sehwag was no less than a nightmare for any bowler when he had his day. He had an amazing ability to dominate the opposition bowlers by striking with the very first ball. While Sehwag believed in scoring runs fast, he rarely clashed with the players of the opposing team on the field.

Veeru was an aggressive batsman with a calm demeanor who believed in being friendly with the players on the field. However, there were many occasions when Sehwag lost his cool and got into trouble with the opposing bowlers or players. Once Sehwag had a dispute with Australian fast bowler James Pattinson on the middle ground.

This incident is from the match played between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in 2011. Sehwag started the Indian innings with his partner Gautam Gambhir. Sehwag was playing on 16 when Pattinson tried to block the batsman’s path while running. The bowler used his shoulder to stop Viru from taking a run in the seventh over of the innings.

Sehwag did not like Pattinson’s behavior at all. The Indian batsman got angry. Sehwag angrily raised the bat and threatened Pattinson. There was a lot of war of words between the two players. Meanwhile, Peter Siddle also came and tried to dominate Sehwag. The on-field umpires intervened and resumed the match after pacifying the players.
