Overview

  • Speaking on The Life Savers Show, Sehwag said Chappell told him, “If you don’t move your feet, you won’t score runs,” during a lean patch.
  • Sehwag recounted that captain Rahul Dravid stepped in to break up the heated argument in the dressing room.
  • He added that Chappell warned him, “Make sure you score, or I’ll drop you,” before the innings in which Sehwag reached 184 by the second session.
  • After that knock, Sehwag said he told Dravid, “Tell your coach not to come near me,” reflecting lingering frustration.
  • Hindustan Times suggests the episode likely corresponds to the 2006 Gros Islet Test, though Sehwag did not name the match and no new responses from Chappell or Dravid were reported.
