Sehwag's Gen Z Kids Feared His Hosting Debut Would Hurt His Image

Virender Sehwag has revealed that his Gen Z children were worried his Rise and Fall hosting debut could damage his image — but the former India opener decided to take the chance anyway.

It is a fascinating crossover: one of cricket's most beloved (and most meme-able) personalities stepping into the high-drama world of reality TV hosting, a lane previously owned by the abrasive Ashneer Grover.

Early episodes suggest Sehwag's deadpan, straight-talking style is a very different flavour from Grover's boardroom aggression — and fans seem to be enjoying the contrast.
