New Delhi, Mar 3:
Out of favour Indian opener Virender Sehwag today pulled out of Delhi’s Vijay Hazare Trophy (North Zone leg) match against Himachal Pradesh here amid speculation that the decision was prompted by poor form.
While the official reason given was “sickness”, it is widely believed in Delhi’s cricket fraternity that Sehwag has finally taken a break due to poor form.
“Sehwag has cough and cold problems and that’s why he has decided to opt out of this game. He also reported of feverish feeling,” Chetan Chauhan, chairman of the selection committee said.
However, Sehwag conveyed his decision to the team’s chief coach Sanjeev Sharma at 7:15 am in the morning while the players were instructed to report to the ground at 7:30 am.(PTI)
