Leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane has revealed which team he would prefer to see Nepal defeat in an entertaining ‘This or That’ interaction with Canadian model, actress and sports presenter Yesha Sagar.
The interview gave fans a glimpse of the person behind the cricketing career, with Lamichhane answering a series of quick questions in his usual relaxed manner.
Sandeep Lamichhane chooses the team to beat
One of the most interesting moments came when Yesha asked Lamichhane a question that would certainly attract attention among cricket fans.
” Nepal beating India or Nepal beating Australia?”
Without taking much time, Lamichhane responded:
“Ah, good one. Uh, Nepal beating India.”
His choice is an interesting one, considering India’s stature in international cricket and the growing rivalry between the two neighbouring cricketing nations.
Nepal have continued to make progress in international cricket, and a victory against the World Cup champions would represent a significant achievement for the team.
Fame or peaceful private life? Lamichhane makes his choice
The conversation then moved away from cricket, with Yesha asking the spinner whether he preferred fame or a peaceful private life.
Lamichhane did not hesitate with his response.
“Peaceful private life.”
The interviewer also asked him to choose between watching a late sunset and going on a mountain getaway. The Nepal cricketer selected the latter.
When Lamichhane mentioned Mount Everest, Yesha revealed that visiting the world’s highest mountain is something she would also love to experience.
“Me too, I also wanna go there,” she said.
The exchange highlighted their connection with Nepal’s beautiful mountain landscape.
Dipendra Singh Airee or Kushal Bhurtel – Whom did Lamichhane choose?
Another entertaining question involved two of Nepal’s prominent cricketers, Dipendra Singh Airee and Kushal Bhurtel.
Yesha asked Lamichhane whom he would prefer to be stuck with on a 12-hour flight.
After briefly considering the question, the spinner selected Dipendra Singh Airee, explaining his choice with a smile.
“Dipendra, uh… Dipendra will bring a lot of good ideas, so Dipendra.”
His answer offered a glimpse into the camaraderie shared between members of the Nepal cricket team.

Lamichhane reveals the best advice he ever received
Perhaps the most meaningful part of the interaction came when Yesha asked whether he preferred giving advice or receiving it.
Lamichhane admitted that he preferred receiving advice, although he also enjoys sharing his experiences with others.
When asked about the best advice he had received, he recalled an incident from 2016, when he was playing club cricket in Australia.
He explained that one of the experienced people he met during that period gave him a memorable suggestion about protecting his hands.
“You know, save these hands. It will take you to the places.”
The advice stayed with Lamichhane and became a memorable lesson from the early stages of his cricketing journey.
