Honest Take of Virender Sehwag on Rohit Century After Record WC Century Against Afghanistan

Veteran captain of team India Rohit Sharma suffered heartbreak after being left out of the 2011 World Cup squad of India. Under the leadership of legendary cricketer MS Dhoni, India lifted the famous trophy for the second time in the history of limited-overs cricket. Since then, Team India has only made it to the semi-final stage of the ICC World Cup in the 50-over format.

While speaking about the victory of India over Afghanistan in Delhi on Wednesday, legendary Indian opener Virender Sehwag said that he would have surely named Rohit in India's 2011 World Cup squad if he was a part of the Indian think tank at the time. Sehwag said, “If I had been the captain or a selector, I would have surely picked him for the 2011 World Cup. But at that time, he was not the Rohit Sharma that he is right now. He was a bit young, and at the end of the day, it is the decision of the captain and selectors as to the team balance that they want.”
