DesiChap Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Cricketer Virender Sehwag bereaved Posted online: Tuesday , October 30, 2007 at 1755 hrs IST New Delhi, October 30:: The joy of staging a comeback into the Indian cricket team turned into grief for Virender Sehwag whose father passed away following a massive heart attack on Tuesday. Sehwag's father, Kishan, died at 2.30 pm at his Najafgarh residence. He was 70. Sehwag and his brothers were at his bedside when the end came. The Delhi opener, who staged a comeback in the national team for the first two ODIs against Pakistan in place of former captain Rahul Dravid, did not attend the felicitation programmes for the World Cup winning Twenty20 cricket team at the residences of President, Prime Minister and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi during the day. Many of Sehwag's Ranji Trophy teammates and his close friends attended the cremation. The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) Secretary S P Bansal and Sports Secretary Sunil Dev have condoled the death.

kablooee87 Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Pak. captain visits Sehwag to offer condolences New Delhi (PTI) - In a touching gesture, Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik and manager Talat Ali on Friday visited the residence of Virender Sehwag to personally offer their condolences to the bereaved Indian cricketer. Malik and Ali, accompanied by media manager Ehsan Malik, left for Sehwag's residence in Najafgarh immediately after their warm-up game against Delhi at the Feroze Shah Kotla to meet the star player who lost his father on Wednesday. The Pakistanis spent about 10 minutes with Sehwag and other family members as hordes of photographers waited outside. After coming out, media manager Malik said that they carried the feelings of other members of the team during these difficult times for Sehwag. Sehwag's father Kishan passed away after a heart attack on the day the Indian team, which won the recent Twenty20 World Cup, was felicited by the President and the Prime Minister in the capital. Pakistan, who arrived here on Thursday evening, will play five one-dayers and three Tests during their tour of India.
Ram Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Thats pretty odd for a team manager and captain to visit an opposing team member's house to personally offer condolences. Its a very tough precedent to follow. Still, good gesture.Pakistan wanting to seem friendly and cordial which is nice.

Its a very tough precedent to follow. Still, good gesture.Pakistan wanting to seem friendly and cordial which is nice. Several Pakistani players (including Shoaib Malik) have lost family members in the recent past. I'm sure those players have a feeling of what it's like. That might be a reason they felt compelled to go.
Mr. Wicket Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 My sympathies go out to Sehwag and his family. BTW, that's a very classy gesture by Malik and co.
Cricketics Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 wow.. thatz good gesture by maiik.. awesome
coffee_rules Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 A very noble gesture from Pakistanis. I am sure Indians would have done the same if shoe was on the other foot (not wishing it to be).
beetle Posted November 3, 2007 Author Posted November 3, 2007 They did coffee... When Malik had losthis father...they had done the same. Nice gesture....
