I will make a comeback: Sehwag

It ain’t over till the fat lady sings. Well, in Virender Sehwag’s mind at least, she’s not singing yet. After being dropped from the Indian squad for the remaining two Tests against Australia, the 34-year-old Sehwag said that he is not contemplating retiring from the game. “I have no plans to retire now. I will try to make a comeback,” Sehwag told television channels on Thursday. On twitter, the right-hander tweeted: “Will continue to work hard for my place in the team. I trust my game and am confident that, “I’ll be back.” ‘Best wishes to the team.” [caption id=“attachment_651859” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] Sehwag is not thinking of retirement.

He is already not part of India ODI and T20 teams and this exclusion might hit his confidence hard. He hasn’t let that show yet. After his 117 against England in the first innings of the Ahmedabad Test against England in November, he has scored only 163 runs in 9 innings at a poor average of average of 18.11. Numbers that made his axing a logical decision. But given India’s dominance in the series, many were expecting him to get a couple of chance to prove himself once again. However, it was not to be. The also marks the end of Gautam Gambhir-Virender Sehwag opening partnership that was once regarded as the best in the world. They may still get back into the team but for that the India will have to hit a really rough patch in the near future.
