New Delhi: Former Indian Batsman Virendar Sehwag on Sunday, April 12 said that the inspiration for his batting approach was Angad from Ramayana.

Sehwag took to Twitter and shared image of the mythological character of Angad from ‘Ramayana’ serial and wrote, “So here is where I took my batting inspiration from.”

The opening batsman also added,” Pair hilana mushkil hi nahi , namumkin hai . #Angad ji Rocks”, indicating that the less feet movement he had while batting was similar to story behind Angad and it is impossible to move the leg.
