Nepal’s star leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane recently participated in an engaging ‘This or That’ session with Canadian model, actress, and sports presenter Yesha Sagar, where he shared his preferences on various topics, ranging from cricket rivalries to lifestyle choices.
The fast-paced interview offered fans a personal glimpse into the life of the cricketer, showcasing his relaxed and candid personality as he answered a series of quick questions.
Sandeep Lamichhane Chooses His Preferred Victory
One of the highlights of the conversation occurred when Sagar posed a question sure to spark discussion among cricket enthusiasts: would he prefer Nepal to defeat India or Australia?
“Nepal beating India or Nepal beating Australia?”
Without hesitation, the spinner made his choice clear:
“Ah, good one. Uh, Nepal beating India.”
This preference highlights the intense interest surrounding the growing cricketing rivalry between Nepal and India. As Nepal continues to build its presence on the international stage, a victory against the Indian side would represent a monumental milestone for the nation’s cricket team.
Fame or Peaceful Private Life? Lamichhane Makes His Choice
Shifting away from cricket, Sagar asked the spinner to choose between public fame and a quiet, private life.
Lamichhane was quick and decisive in his response, opting for a simpler lifestyle:
“Peaceful private life.”
The interviewer then presented him with a choice between watching a late sunset or embarking on a mountain getaway. Lamichhane chose the mountain adventure, prompting Sagar to express her shared love for the majestic Himalayas, particularly Mount Everest.
“Me too, I also wanna go there,” Sagar remarked, highlighting their mutual appreciation for Nepal’s stunning natural landscape.
Dipendra Singh Airee or Kushal Bhurtel – Who Would Lamichhane Choose?
Another lighthearted moment in the interview involved a choice between two of Nepal’s key cricketers, Dipendra Singh Airee and Kushal Bhurtel.
Sagar asked Lamichhane whom he would prefer to be stuck with on a long twelve-hour flight.
After some thought, the spinner chose Dipendra Singh Airee, joking that his teammate would bring plenty of good ideas to the table:
“Dipendra, uh… Dipendra will bring a lot of good ideas, so Dipendra.”
This playful choice shed light on the strong camaraderie and team spirit within the Nepal national cricket squad.
Lamichhane Reveals the Best Advice He Ever Received
The interview concluded with a more reflective question about advice. When asked whether he preferred giving or receiving advice, Lamichhane admitted his preference for learning from others.
He shared a piece of invaluable guidance from his early days playing club cricket in Australia back in 2016. An experienced individual he met there advised him to protect his physical assets:
“You know, save these hands. It will take you to the places.”
Lamichhane noted how this simple yet powerful advice remained with him throughout his journey, emphasizing the importance of protecting his cricketing abilities from the very start of his career.
