Indian opener Virender Sehwag has been chosen for the Padma Shri award on the occasion of 60th Republic Day. The Delhi player missed scoring a third triple ton in 2009 by just seven runs and also led India to a victory in the previous Test match against Bangladesh. Last year, captain MS Dhoni and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh were selected for the Padma Shri but both the players gave the function a miss, which drew criticism from several quarters. A public Interest Litigation (PIL) was also filed against them. Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has been selected for the Padma Bhushan award. Badminton star Saina Nehwal has also been chosen for the Padma Shri awards along with yesteryear Bollywood diva Rekha and actor Saif Ali Khan.

Monday 25th January 2010 Sachin: Sehwag deserves Padma Shri Virender Sehwag has made a huge impact on the young generation and the explosive opener thoroughly deserves the Padma Shri, Sachin Tendulkar said. Reacting to Sehwag's selection for the prestigious award, Tendulkar said the Delhi player had immense contribution in the improved performance of the team over the last 10 years. "Sehwag has made a terrific impact to the next generation and he truly deserves to be conferred the Padma Shri," Tendulkar told reporters after the second day's play of the ongoing second and final India-Bangladesh Test in Dhaka on Monday. "To be honoured with Padma Shri is a terrific achievement. I think his achievements has been appreciated (by the government). He's a wonderful player to have in the team and has been a consistent performer for the past 10 years," added Tendulkar, who scored his 45th Test ton in India's first innings.

Sachin: Sehwag deserves Padma Shri

On a day of runs and bouncers, Sachin Tendulkar said that the Indian batsmen had the last word. “The Bangladesh bowlers bowled well in phases. Yes they did use the short-ball but in the end, we have scored 459 for four and that tells a story, isn’t it?,†Tendulkar said. Tendulkar said that he and Rahul Dravid remained alert and bided their time. “Restrictive fields were set, the bowlers did well in phases and during that time Dravid and I remained patient and after that we also played our shots. The pitch was also two-paced. We have not decided yet about how many runs we want on the third day,†Tendulkar said. Asked about his 90th hundred in international cricket (45 in Tests and 45 in ODIs), Tendulkar quipped: “Ah, I don’t count!†:winky: The maestro also expressed joy over Virender Sehwag being named among the list of Padma Shri awardees. “He truly deserves it,†Sachin said. :hatsoff: Tendulkar believed that India is poised to move ahead in this match while speedster Shahadat Hossain said that Bangladesh can stay afloat if its batsmen do well in the second innings. “If we apply ourselves in the second innings, we can save this match,†Shahadat said. :hysterical::hysterical: Shahadat admitted that bowling bouncers at the Indian batsmen was part of the team’s strategy. “Yes, it was pre-planned. In the team meetings, we discussed the fact that Virender Sehwag and Dravid tend to leave the bouncers as they are not comfortable playing them hence we wanted to test them in this match. When the bouncer struck Dravid and when I saw such a great batsman collapse and fall, it did help my confidence as a fast bowler,†Shahadat said. Shahadat also refused to blame his fielders while Tendulkar thrived on two dropped catches. “This is part of the game and we have to accept it,†the speedster said.
