In a surprising turn, former cricketer Virender Sehwag was seen campaigning for Congress candidate Anirudh Chaudhary in Haryana’s Tosham constituency. Known for his past online support for the BJP, Sehwag’s move raised eyebrows. His backing of Chaudhary, who has deep cricketing ties as the son of ex-BCCI president Ranbir Mahendra and the grandson of former Haryana CM Bansi Lal, has energized voters ahead of the 5 October elections. Sehwag’s presence sparked excitement, with many speculating whether this support signals a strong Congress push in the region.
