Mumbai, Sep 28 : Former cricketer Virender Sehwag, who hosts the streaming reality show ‘Rise & Fall’, has recollected the moments that exemplify the rise and fall in his professional career as a cricketer.
He spoke with IANS during the promotions of the show at a 5-star property in the city, and shared that life is a constant battle between fleeting happiness and challenging situations that test a person’s grit.
He told IANS, “In my life Rise and fall has happened a lot. I played my first match in 1999, the match was drawn so, I experienced the fall. Then I made a comeback, and scored the fastest 100 that was the rise for me. In 2007, I was dropped from the team, that was the fall. In 2008, I made a second triple century then I rose again. Life is all about ups and downs. It happens in life, if you keep playing”.
He further mentioned, “You are not Sachin Tendulkar, that you play for 20 years, and have a smooth sail. In everyone's life, rise and fall happen. But when you fall, you get a chance to make a solid foundation. When you rise, you become better”.
