Test matches were boring until Virender Sehwag entered Indian Cricket Team. The star opener who served the country for years had announced retirement from all formats of cricket recently and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) felicitated him yesterday. Sehwag thanked all his colleagues and the captains he had played under, but decided to give India’s most successful skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s name a miss.
“I want to thank Ajay Sharma, my first captain Ajay Jadeja, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble. I want to thank Tendulkar. I would also like to thank the players who played with me and against me. I would like to thank all the physios and trainers.
And not to forget the grounds men and umpires around the world,” said Sehwag after receiving a memento from BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur.
During his speech, there was no single word on Dhoni, under whose leadership he played for almost six years before being dropped from both the ODI and Test teams in 2013. This is not the first time that Sehwag has taken a dig at Dhoni publicly. He had recently stated that India lifted the 2011 World Cup due to the combined efforts of the team, and not just because of Dhoni’s captaincy.
