Former India cricket team swashbuckling batsman Virender Sehwag has revealed the real inspiration behind his batting approach was Ramayan's character 'Angad'. The opening batsman stated that he took inspiration from Ramayan's character 'Angad' (part of 'vanar sena', an army of monkeys, which helped Lord Ram in rescuing Sita from Ravan).
 
He went on to share a picture of 'Angad' on Twitter and also gave an explanation as to why the character is an inspiration for him.
 
"So here is where i took my batting inspiration from. Pair hilana mushkil hi nahi , namumkin hai . #Angad Ji Rocks," Sehwag tweeted.
