In a one to one chat with Virendra Sehwag discussing India’s current tour of England who was
known for his destructive batting, Virendra Sehwag was speaking the way he batted
He said India played too safe and should have gone after the loose balls and made England
bowlers get the upper hand over Indian batsmen. Moreover, he felt India handed over the
the momentum which they had with them in the first two test matches.
Anis Sajan asked him should India retain Cheteshwar Pujara and Rahane, he said definitely yes
and added that Pujara has come back in form by scoring 91, and also Rahane had scored a vital
50 at Lord’s which helped India post a good second innings score. Moreover, Sehwag insisted
India should play an extra batsman in Hanuman Vihari as if he believes India will win if the
batsman puts some runs. When asked if Ashwin should be included, he said he is your number
one spinner as well as he got five test hundreds and will be handly at the dry oval wicket as he
has got more variations.
When Anis Sajan asked how Virat Kohli would get out of this lean patch, he said the skipper
does not look out of form and needs to be patient, and knowing him he will fire in the next two
test matches.
Anis Sajan asked for the last question him was who will win the series, he said as much as
the heart wanted India to win he feel England win the series 2/1 and he added that he hopes he is
proved wrong.
Virendra Sehwag is the only Indian to score two triple hundreds and also score six double
hundreds and has more than 8000 test runs in the 101 test matches he has played for the team
India and more often than not India won when he scored big. No wonder he is called the Nawab of Najafgarh.
