Talking to media reporters after a practice session at Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday, the hard hitting opening batsman from Delhi said that such kind of rumours are common whenever a side is losing continously. He said that the team is focusing on the
next Test and nothing else is on their mind.
"When teams start losing then these kind of things come, but there is nothing true in that. We are playing as a team and we are fine," the Indian opener was quoted as saying by a local newspaper.
"I can't talk about anything else because there are rules, but you asked me about this and I can say it is rubbish. We are playing as a unit and we are carrying on for the next Test," he added further.
Sehwag’s statement has come in the aftermath of reports claiming chaos in the Indian dressing room. The star opener was at the heart of these rumours suggesting that the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 cricketer is gearing up to take captaincy role from the calm and cool Mahindra
Singh Dhoni, being maligned by the former cricketers and pundits for his defensive captaincy tactics.
The star studded Indian line up miserably collapsed against a new look Australian pace attack in the first two Tests of the ongoing four-match series, giving rise to the kind of criticism MS Dhoni and his men would not have anticipated.
The innings defeat at Sydney was http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s sixth consecutive Test defeat abroad and many feel that the former world number one Test side has lost the ability to win away matches.
Earlier Dravid had also rebuffed the rumours calling the reports baseless.
"When you do badly, suddenly everything is seen as wrong with the team. There is no truth (in Sehwag vs Dhoni reports) to those matters. As I said, the spirit of the team is really good," said Dravid.
Third Test begins at the WACA ground of Perth on Friday, January 13, 2012.
