Former Indian Cricketer Virendar Sehwag made a huge comment on Virat Kohli. He said that Kohli should drop himself from the 3rd test squad if he fails to perform in the second test match being played against South Africa at their home town. Sehwag told this in an interview to India Today as he was disappointed with the decision of dropping Bhuvaneshwar Kumar from the squad in the second test match..
What changes did Kohli make?
Kohli was seemed to be disappointed with Team India’s performance in the first test match played against South Africa, as they lost the match by 72 runs. Hence Kohli made some changes with the team and introduced few replacements for existing players. He replaced Shikhar Dhawan with KL Rahul and also changed the wicket-keeper too. Parthiv Patel was brought into the team instead of Saha.
Bhuvi’s replacement and Sehwag’s disappointment!
Added to this, Kohli also made a huge change into the team which grabbed the attention of all Indian Cricket fans. He replaced Bhuvaneshwar Kumar with Ishant Sharma for no specific reason. And this move is being criticized by all sorts of people. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar finished with six wickets in the first game. This also includes four wickets in South Africa’s first innings. But also South Africa clawed their way back into the game and won a low-scoring thrill match.
Kohli should drop himself if he fails in the 3rd Test Match!
Sehwag said that dropping Bhuvi from the test squad will make him lose his self confidence;and Kohli had hurt him by doing so. He also added saying that Kohli should consider dropping himself from the 3rd Test squad if he fails to perform well in the 2nd test match being played at Centurion. He said,
“Watching Virat Kohli excluding Shikhar Dhawan for just one Test failure, and Bhuvneshwar for no reason at all, Kohli should drop himself in the third Test at Johannesburg, if he fails to perform in Centurion.”
Kohli has hurt Bhuvaneshwar Kumar!
Sehwag added saying that,
“Excluding Bhuvneshwar wasn’t the right decision. Citing that Ishant might benefit with his height, Kohli has hurt Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s self-confidence.”
