Virender Sehwag broke his silence after a video of him was doing the rounds on social media over the last few days, where it seemed that he called out KS Srikkanth for asking for bribes. In the video, Sehwag said that his coach was told to give INR 5 lakh, and then only the Delhi-born would get selected in the Indian U-19 team.

However, in the original video shared by Sehwag, he clearly mentions that a person who was with Srikkanth had asked for the money. The Nawab of Najafgarh clarified that Srikkanth is a "wonderful and very fair person,"

"Editing acchi thi, intent galat tha (Editing was good, intent was wrong). I clearly said the guy who was with Srikanth called my coach, but it has been edited to make it sound like Srikanth ji called. Sharing both clips real and fake so that there is no confusion. Srikanth ji is genuinely a wonderful and very fair person," Sehwag wrote in the caption of his video.
