velu Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Quote New Delhi: One of the key moments of India's 2011 World Cup victory was how skipper MS Dhoni promoted himself ahead of in-form Yuvraj Singh in the World Cup final and scored an unbeaten 91 as hosts lifted the trophy after 28 years. That move was seen as a masterstroke and now former India opener Virender Sehwag has revealed that it was Sachin Tendulkar's idea to change the batting order. During a conversation between the openers in the dressing room, Dhoni entered and Sachin gave him a tip. “So, finally in between MS Dhoni came in and at that time Virat Kohli and Gautam were batting. So, he told MS, if right-handed batsman gets out, then go for right-hander and left-handed batsman gets out, go for left-hander. After saying this, he went to the bathroom and then back out. And then Virat Kohli got out and in place of him (Yuvraj), MS Dhoni went to bat,” said Sehwag on chat show 'What the Duck'. no trolling https://www.news18.com/cricketnext/news/sachin-tendulkars-tactical-acumen-behind-ms-dhonis-promotion-in-world-cup-final-1773597.html?ref=hp_top_pos_11 Rasgulla and Cricketics 2 Link to comment

Temujin Khaghan Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 //After saying this, he went to the bathroom and then back out// i did not understand this part. Why sehwag thought it was important to mention sachin's loo breaks? Is this a murder mystery to tell all the details?? Or is he saying that Sachin cannot be there when the decision was being executed?? Link to comment
Garuda Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Can't say anything that comes out of Sehwag's mouth is the absolute truth. Remember the baap comment to Akhtar was denied by Akhtar. He probably uses his "artistic license" here that he uses in hindi commentary. He even mentions it in a previous show on WTD. As someone mentioned it here, if Dhoni failed and lost the world cup, this comment would not be made. Sehwag is a known bhakt of Sachin. When Sehwag and Zaheer were dropped for a match in the 2012 T20 WC, they were in the dugout and when we won a match, the camera was one these two. Zaheer was his usual self while Sehwag celebrated too much and even Zaheer was laughing like what this guy is doing. Supposedly Sehwag was showing how he "works for the team". I can cite several examples but this guy is a horrible commentator and he is pandering to the populace in order to keep his reputation high. GoldenSun and AmreekanDesi 2 Link to comment
Rasgulla Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Ailiaaaa trying to steal Gary's credits.. Where was his suggestions in 2003 and 2007 WC ? If he was that good he wouldn't be kicked out of captaincy not once but twice Switchblade and Garuda 2 Link to comment

It was not the baap comment he said that Sachin hit Akhtar for a six in that Multan test match where he made 194 when he never hit any six in that game but he was very upset with Rahul Dravid when he declared the innings and he could not complete his 200 he mentioned that in his book as well.

Khota Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 This is getting stupid now. Do you honestly believe that order made any difference. The better team won. No more no less. As they say success has many fathers and defeat is an orphan. How come there is no help when Sachin himself was playing stupid against Australia in SA for finals. I am tired of this hero worship and bullsheet. Switchblade and Garuda 2 Link to comment
