Sefag also recalled an episode in which he turned down an offer from the Big Bash League because the amount was too low.
“I still remember when I was left out of the Indian team and I was playing.” IPL. Then he got an offer from BBL to participate in the Big Bash, and when he asked how much it would cost, he was told $100,000.

Sehwag also said Jaiswal should not think too much about comparisons with India's legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
“Look, I too was being compared to Sachin Tendulkar in my early days. But the sooner you get that out of your head, the better.” Yashasvi Jaiswal said about being compared to me. I don't think you think about it too much. You can't perform like Tendulkar. You know your game best, so work on it. Focus on that,” Sehwag told Cricbuzz.
“I don't believe in comparisons. When I'm compared, I've changed my stance and the way I play a little bit so people no longer say I look or bat like Tendulkar. The tag of comparison doesn't come with that. It comes with immense pressure. I have high expectations for his son. He knows that if he doesn't work hard, he might have to go back soon. He will get back in shape. I believe his ticket and visa for the World Cup have been confirmed,” Sefag further said.
