New Delhi: Swashbuckling former India opener Virender Sehwag gave WWE Divas Champion Charlotte and WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler their first taste of cricket here today. Assisted by his two children, Aryavir and Vedant, Sehwag introduced the duo to the sport and shared the techniques of batting, bowling and catching with his eager WWE pupils. Dolph and Charlotte both enjoyed the experience of batting against the former off-spinner.
