During the Indian Premier League (IPL) season opening between the Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, former India cricketer Virender Sehwag responded to social media star Orry in a humorous fashion.
In a video that circulated on X (previously Twitter), Sehwag blasted Orry when the latter refused to bat in his ‘costly’ suit after being asked to exhibit his favorite shot by the show presenter. Here’s how the interaction went:
Orry says:
“Ye suit na bahot mehnga hai, isme sports nahi khel sakte par baad mein dikhaega. [This is a very costly suit, we can’t play sports in this but I’ll show you later (my shots)].”
Virender Sehwag replied (on his favorite shot):
“(chuckles) Main mara to inhe bahar hi bhejunga. [If I hit then I’ll throw him out].”
Orry responded:
“(chuckles) Pura sixer [complete six].”

Orhan Awatramani, often known as Orry, has been spotted hanging out with Bollywood superstars and star kids in recent months. He has also been on television series such as Bigg Boss and Koffee With Karan.
It’s worth noting that Sehwag presently works as a commentator for Jio Cinema’s Hindi and Haryanvi channels.
