#4 Sehwag asks Michael Clarke (pup) about his breed
During one of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy match in Australia, Sachin Tendulkar had just come out of injury and was struggling to get going.
Australian middle-order batsman, Michael Clarke, who was fielding close to the striker's end was continuously taking a jibe at the master. He went up to Sachin and said: "You're becoming too old for this mate. I think you need to go."
Sachin ignored the sledging and remained undistracted, however, Sehwag who was at the non-striker's end, went up to Clarke and told him to mind his own business and not to mess with the master. Clarke paid no attention to him and continued with his ranting.
When this whole scenario became unbearable for Sehwag, he walked up to Clarke and asked: "How old are you?"
Michael Clarke replied: “Mate, 23"
Sehwag: "Do you know he has more hundreds than your age! If you want to abuse someone, see that he is at least of your age or experience ."
Even this failed to stop Clarke and finally an irritated Sehwag decided to call an end to all this.
Sehwag asked, "Your teammates call you pup, right?”
Clarke replied, "Ya Mate."
Viru retorted, "Which Breed?"
The Aussie remained subdued for the rest of the match.
