Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar — two legends, one iconic friendship. For Indian cricket fans, this duo brings back memories of explosive starts, unstoppable partnerships, and sheer batting joy.
They weren’t just teammates — they were a force. And years after retirement, their bond is still as strong as ever… and just as entertaining.

Recently, Sehwag met Tendulkar in Delhi and shared a selfie with the cricketing legend. With his trademark humour, Sehwag wrote, “God ji ke Darshan in Delhi. @sachin_rt.” A simple caption, full of respect and nostalgia.
But here’s where it gets funny.
The photo Sehwag posted? Blurry, grainy — not what you’d expect from two cricketing greats meeting. And Sachin, in peak form, gave Sehwag a taste of his own banter.
He replied, “Arre @virendersehwag, thodi der ruk jata to yeh photo use karleta always a joy to meet you!”
Take a look at Sachin Tendulkar’s reply below:-
Classic Tendulkar. Classy and witty at the same time.
Sehwag, of course, wasn’t going to let that slide. He came back with, “Hahaha ! Hamesha se hi jaldi me raha hoon God ji Pleasure is always of the one who gets to meet you @sachin_rt.”
This light-hearted exchange instantly won the internet. But behind the humour is a deep bond built on years of cricketing brilliance.
Together, Sehwag and Tendulkar opened in 114 ODIs, scoring 4,387 runs — the seventh highest in ODI history. They put together 13 century partnerships and 18 fifties, with their highest being a 182-run stand. Pure dominance.
While Sachin rewrote history with his 100 international centuries, Sehwag was the first Indian to score a triple hundred in Tests. They made batting look easy, and partnerships feel magical.
And today, even in retirement, they still know how to entertain — whether it’s with the bat back then, or with selfies and savage replies now.
