‘India will miss aggressive Sehwag’

NEW DELHI: The absence of hard-hitting Virender Sehwag could affect India’s hopes of imposing themselves early in the Test series in England that starts on Thursday, former Australia captain Ian Chappell has warned.
Opener Sehwag, known for dominating bowlers with exciting strokeplay, is recovering from a shoulder injury and set to miss the first two Tests of the four-match series.
“There’s no batsman in the world who can disrupt bowling plans quicker than Sehwag,” Chappell wrote in his Sunday column on the ESPN Cricinfo website.
“It appears that fate has come down ever so slightly in England’s favour. The first two venues in this series, Lord’s and Trent Bridge, are known to favour swing bowling.”
