http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 as India's last hope – Cricket News Update
Farokh Engineer, the former Indian player, opines that Virender Sehwag, the maverick opener, is the only option left for Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013. He is hopeful of Sehwag’s thumping performances in the remaining two npower Tests of the series of four.
Despite having the big batters like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772 in their camp, Team India have lost the first two Tests and now they are banking on Sehwag for their resurgence against the mighty English who seem to be invincible at their home grounds.
Sehwag has been out of his national squad since last couple of months due to his shoulder injury. He picked up the injury during the Indian Premier League-4 in April this year and got a surgical operation subsequently.
This rendered the hard-hitting batsmen unfit to accompany his team during their tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 last month.
He was being expected to be available for the England series but he opted out of the first two Tests for the fear of getting his injury aggravated.
Now, the batting rock-star has reached England to rejoin the disgruntled Men in Blue who are in dire need of a saviour who can avert further shame and failure from them.
Before plunging into Northampton ground to play the 3rd Test, Sehwag will play a two-day practice game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Northamptonshire-c824 to test his fitness.
Talking to the media, Farokh said, “I’m hoping he will cope with the demands. The tour game in Northampton should be enough. Then, he can have four days of nets. I’m confident he will be OK.”
He further told, “We have to expect him to score and succeed. There is no other option before us.”
Sehwag is famous for his fast and furious batting style. He used to hit a boundary on the very first ball of his team’s every innings of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Cricket World Cup 2011 till the semi-finals round.
The 32-year-old right hander has 87 Test matches with 7694 runs to his credit.
