Virender Sehwag and MS Dhoni are two of the stalwarts of Indian cricket. They both changed the dynamics of the game with their style of play, while the latter changed the dynamics of the game with his leadership and calm nature on the field in pressure situations. Both have retired from international cricket but MS Dhoni continues to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Dhoni, who is 44 years old, continues to play for his team, Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

However, there have long been rumors of a rift between the cricketers. It has been the subject of long-running speculation through strategic choices and public interviews.

Thereafter, when Dhoni was asked about the injury issue at the pre-match press conference, he replied: “Maybe you should ask his team doctor to issue a press release.” However, Sehwag and Dhoni ended this dissatisfaction by winning the 2011 ICC Men’s ODI World Cup in India. Another example occurred during the CB series in Australia in 2012 when the team agreed to rotate the senior team openers Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir and Sehwag to provide young players ready for the next World Cup.

But things took a turn when Dhoni’s idea of ​​injecting youth into the team through rotation also involved saving runs on the field with fresh legs, something the senior members of the team seemed not to notice.

“I don’t know what he said and I don’t know what happened in the media,” Sehwag said at that press conference. “But we decided, we had a meeting and he chatted to everyone, including Gautam, myself and Tendulkar. He wanted to give opportunities to young people so that young people can play all the games here because the next World Cup is here too and so they can see how the pitches perform in Australia.”
