Words of dissension and rift within the team once again spread quickly once it was learnt that Virender Sehwag has been rested for the opening game!

On Sunday, for the first ODI match of the tri-series India’s most explosive opener Virender Sehwag was rested for the match by Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni! Everyone came into shock after learning about this daring, surprising move by a captain who has been under intense pressure after the nightmares of England and Australia.

If the player would have been rested due to injury it could be well-understood but even that was not the case! Sources claim it was not injury but the poor-form of Sehwag that made Dhoni take such decision! But Dhoni has something else to say, as per him it was team’s decision to keep Sehwag out and not his personal!

For us it seems that Dhoni has lost his control on the game and hence is trying his luck by doing such silly acts! It was not only Sehwag’s exclusion that surprised all but once again India’s promising pacer Irfan Pathan was not given a chance to prove his mettle in the game!

Looks as if Dhoni is no way interested in using this in-form pacer or the consistent losses have made him lose his instinct on the captaincy of the nation, he once mastered.

We feel he badly needs to get his figures right or else no one would be surprise if he himself get axed from the playing eleven soon!
