Overview

• On August 14, Sehwag revealed in a podcast interview that after Dhoni dropped him during the 2007–08 Australia tri-series, he contemplated quitting ODI cricket.
• He said Sachin Tendulkar warned him against making decisions when emotional and recommended waiting for a couple of series before evaluating his future.
• Sehwag followed that counsel and returned six months later in the Kitply Cup, scoring 150 runs in three matches to rebuild form.
• He went on to play 251 ODIs, scoring 8,273 runs, serving as vice-captain under Dhoni and contributing to India’s 2011 World Cup triumph.
• Sehwag also spoke about his son Aryavir’s early cricket progress and urged him to play freely without succumbing to pressure.
