Former Indian opener, Virender Sehwag came hard on the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli for making a lot of changes in the playing XI and dropping the players just after a few bad outings. He also reckoned that if players are dropped from the team because of bad performances in particular matches, then the same should be applied to the captain as well. 

Sehwag asserted that a strong team is formed only when the players get apt support from their captain. On numerous occasions, Virat had expressed his gratitude to the former Indian skipper who supported him after a poor England tour in 2014. But Sehwag believes that no player from the current team will say the same thing about Kohli.

During a chat on Sony Sports, Virender Sehwag said, “Virat Kohli has to think that in the England tour when he had flopped if he was not given opportunities after that, how would he have become such a big player. He himself says that MS Dhoni has backed him and that he would always remain his captain. Is there any player in this team who will say the same thing for Virat Kohli, it is difficult.”

Shreyas Iyer was excluded from the first T20I and that might’ve happened because of his poor run in ODIs. Sehwag believes that even Shreyas won’t have the guts to question Virat for his non-selection in the T20I squad.

Shewag elaborated, “If you talk about Shreyas Iyer, if in the previous T20 series he had given a good performance, then on what basis did you not play him in this encounter. If this decision has been taken with the team in mind then it is right else if it has been taken thinking that Shreyas Iyer does not play short-pitched bowling that well and so a chance has been given to someone else.”
