India's 'movement' over batting order: Sehwag

The India-New Zealand match in Dubai ended in three days. However, the rift with India's rate in that match is not stopping. Critics are finding one mistake after another. Virender Sehwag also joined the list this time.

India's back to the wall after the loss to New Zealand. With the dream of winning the title, the team is now worried about whether it can cross the hurdle of Super Twelve or not. The rate at which the equation has become so complicated for the Kiwis, Sehwag himself has pointed out one of the 'flaws' of the match.

Rohit Sharma made his opening call against Pakistan in the first match on October 24 in Dubai. A week later, Rohit was relegated to number three against New Zealand at the same ground. Young Ishan Kisan opened the match with KL Rahul instead of Rohit. Which surprised Sehwag.

According to the former Indian cricketer, the change in the batting order is a 'huge mistake'. He also argued in favor of the word. He took the example of the 2007 ODI World Cup. In that World Cup held in the West Indies 14 years ago, India was in danger of breaking the opening pairing of Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly. Excluded from the group stage.

Sehwag commented, 'Tendulkar was dropped from the opening to play at number four. Where Yuvraj Singh, Rahul Dravid, MS Dhoni were, Sachin was defeated by playing four. I can't give a better example than this. '

India will face Afghanistan in their third match in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. The Indian team will not go for any test that may be suicidal in this match.
