Virender Sehwag goes viral as Yamraj, doctor, Newton in new photos

Virender Sehwag, known as one of the most fearsome openers in world cricket, is going viral for a different reason. Several photos of him dressed as Yamraj, the Hindu god of death, are circulating widely on social media.

The Yamraj look is not the only one. In the viral photos, Sehwag is also seen dressed as Newton, reading a book under a tree while waiting for an apple to fall. He also appears as a doctor talking to a patient in an ICU. In the most surprising picture, he is dressed as a school teacher making children do sit-ups.

It later emerged that Sehwag is set to host the second season of the show "Rise and Fall". He will host the second season of this Amazon MX Player reality show, after the first season was hosted by Ashneer Grover.

The list of contestants joining this season has also been released. Big names including Swara Bhaskar, Karan Patel and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary are part of the new season. There is talk that Shehzad Poonawalla, who recently left the BJP, will also join the show as a contestant.

Sehwag shared all the photos himself on his Instagram handle, drawing comments from friends and several celebrities. It will be interesting to see how he brings this playful side of his personality to the reality show and whether audiences take to it. Rohit Sharma is also expected to be seen hosting a show soon.
