New Delhi, Oct 29:
Virender Sehwag, who has recently called time on his international cricket career, has backed under-fire skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni to stay on as India’s limited overs captain till the next World Cup.
Replying to queries about Dhoni, Sehwag said: “He should continue as captain till the next World Cup. If he does so, he can leave behind a good World Cup team. And if he retires… you can imagine, even now when Dhoni is there, people have to think about who should bat at 5th, 6th and 7th position.
“If Dhoni is not there, the 5th, 6th and 7th slots will become absolutely free and you cannot expect somebody to finish the match properly.” (PTI)
The explosive opener dismissed reports that it was Dhoni who was behind the decision to drop him from the Indian team.
