Sehwag reached here yesterday and he would be playing, Viru will now be all set with his boxing equipment to beat the hell out of the opposition bowlers!

The swashbuckling batsman’s presence in the team is likely to give Delhi, who are confident after their convincing win against Haryana at Patiala yesterday, a big boost.

Sehwag had also been fined earlier in South Africa which led to a mega controversy with Refree Chris Broad.

The charge was brought to the attention of the Referee by Asad Rauf and Simon Tauffel. He has been fined 20% of his match fees.

Viru has admitted that he needs a good rest to be back into his best form as soon as possible. Virender Sehwag failed again in the sixth ODI versus the poms. In the five matches he played he has scores of 7, 26, 15, 26 and 4. The last score is when he captained the side in the absence of the India’s regular Rahul Dravid.

He clearly stated that Dravid will be the captain for the next match and the decision to rest him would be made by the Indian Captain.

Virender Sehwag’s form something to worry about

Admin — Sat, 01 Apr 2006 17:11:35 +0000

Not too long ago there seemed to be a feeling that the bowlers of the opposition team would fear taking the field at the thought of bowling to Virender Sehwag.

Things have changed in the recent times, Viru doesn’t seem to be at his best and keeps getting out in the same fashion. The short pitch ball into his rib-cage or the ball outside off-stump, both are his big weakness. I’m sure he knows that he is not in-form and definitely needs to come back to his best if India are going to reach anywhere near the World Cup finals.

In his last 25 knocks in the shorter version of the game, Sehwag has scored 759 runs, with a miserly average of 32.25, no hundred and three fifties.
