Sehwag was shown the door after a series of abject failures but former India
cricketers believe the explosive opener is still not finished and will make a
strong comeback. The writing had been on the wall. The new selection committee, has so far, not been scared of taking some bold calls. Gautam Gambhir was axed before the start of the Australia series while Harbhajan Singh was brought back with a firm reminder that no one in the team was indispensable. While Sehwag continued to fail and Murali Vijay found his footing in Test cricket, it was apparent to an even casual onlooker what fate had in store for the Najafgarh bomber. The only Indian to have scored triple tons in Tests, two at that, flopped in the first two Tests and was promptly sent packing.
However, the legendary Gundappa Vishwanath, felt Sehwag deserved at least one more chance, what with the South African tour coming up at the end of the year. He reasoned India could have afforded to take another chance with the out-of-form senior, given they could not lose the series any more.
