Former India opener Virender Sehwag and ex-Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar have had fascinating on-field duels during their playing days. Even now, they never miss a single chance to pull each other’s legs, whether be it in the interview or on social media.

In the past, Sehwag claimed that Akhtar praises the Indian team because it makes him good money. Reacting to it, Shoaib said he had more money than Sehwag had hair on his head.

Recently, the Indian great made a rather hilarious remark, saying he now has a lot more hair than Akthar’s money.

"You guys indulge in lot of banter. Is there any friendship under this banter?" Sehwag was asked on Breakfast With Champions.

In response, Sehwag said: "Where there is love, there is banter or where there is friendship. With Shoaib Akhtar I have deep friendship since 2003-04. We have gone there twice, they have come twice. There's friendship and we pull each other's leg too.”

“He made a statement. I have more notes than the amount of hair strands Virender Sehwag has on his head. Now my hair strands are more than your notes. That tagline would be cool for 'Breakfast With Champions'," he added.

Back in 2016, Virender Sehwag took a jibe at Shoaib Akhtar for praising the Indian players in order to make quick buck.

When a video of Sehwag’s comment resurfaced on social media in 2020, Akhtar replied by saying: “I have more maal (money) than you have baal (hair) on your head. If you are not able to fathom that I have such high followers, then understand it. It has taken me 15 years to become Shoaib Akhtar.”
