Overview

  • Virender Sehwag recounted on The Life Savers Show that then-coach Greg Chappell criticised his footwork during a lean patch and threatened to drop him.
  • Sehwag said captain Rahul Dravid intervened to separate the pair during the argument in the Indian dressing room.
  • According to Sehwag, he responded by scoring 184 by the end of the second session that day and later told Dravid, “Tell your coach not to come near me.”
  • Multiple outlets connected the episode to India’s 2006 Test at Gros Islet in which Sehwag made 180, though Sehwag did not specify the match.
  • No public response from Greg Chappell or Rahul Dravid was reported alongside Saturday’s coverage of Sehwag’s remarks.
