No way back for Sehwag in Indian team
For the past 2 years former Indian opener who changed the face of batting is now struggling for form for whatever the format. A match winner on his day can win the match on his own in the current Ranji season is not scoring runs and is being replaced with another power hitter Shikhar Dhwan. His ability and hand coordination makes him a special batsman but from England tour last year and also the Aussies tour last year , also injuries are keeping out of the team. Whenever the opponents see this man they get afraid and set a defensiveness fielding. The cracks between Dhoni and Sehwag I think may be the reason that the dangerous man is out of the team.
Sehwag who broke the record of scoring double ton in ODI's and two triple centuries in test matches was the most dangerous batsman to bowl. I think the fielding and care free attitude, the youngsters performing is not doing good for him. The best way is to score runs and spending time in middle.The likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and other new players has led to dropping of the dashing opener. The role of an opener is to give a good start and sehwag was such a batsman which can take away the match in few sessions or few overs. He needs to take care that if these youngsters perform like this the place of Sehwag is in jeopardy.
The crowds in India and in outside India the people were keen to watch the explosive batsman and he never let the crowd down, also batting with Sachin made him dangerous. The averages in both ODI and test is great but in the past 2 years he has been found wanting and the way the bowlers exposed his weakness mad the selectors drop him.
I think the selectors must take care that experience is going to count in South Africa where the ball bounces and swings maybe Sehwag can be taken as an middle order batsman.
