Kings XI Punjab’s Sandeep Sharma credits Virender Sehwag for success
On cloud nine after his Indian Premier League success against top batsmen such as Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli, Kings XI Punjab young medium pacer Sandeep Sharma has credited Virender Sehwag for helping him become a better cricketer and described him as a “gem of a person”.

Sometimes, when I don’t bowl to my field or do something wrong and Viru pa happens to see it, he stops his own batting and comes to talk to me. He tells me exactly where I went wrong and goes out of his way to help me become a better cricketer,” Sandeep was quoted as saying by IPL official website.
