Virender Sehwag trolls Virat Kohli for dropping Aaron Finch after loss to Delhi: Watch

Virat Kohli-led Bangalore lost to Delhi on Monday, November 2 in the 55th match of the ongoing Dream11 Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020) season. As has been the case throughout the tournament this year, ex-Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag once again gave his take on the recently-concluded game as part of his social media show, Viru Ki Baithak. Through his most recent episode, the former Indian opening batsman mocked Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli over his decision to exclude Aaron Finch from the playing XI.

Virender Sehwag believes Virat Kohli “sledged” Aaron Finch ahead of India vs Australia 2020 series

Virat Kohli decided to drop out-of-form opening batsman Aaron Finch from Bangalore’s playing XI ahead of their final league match against Delhi. The skipper promoted dynamic youngster Josh Philippe to open instead, however, the move backfired as the 23-year-old managed to score only 12 runs from 17 balls. Bangalore eventually managed to register only 152-7 off their 20 overs, a total which was later overhauled by Delhi batsmen with an over to spare.

Virender Sehwag jokingly said that Virat Kohli was applying sledging tactics when it comes to Australian cricketer Aaron Finch because of the upcoming, high-profile India vs Australia 2020 series. The ex-Indian cricketer hilariously assumed that Finch must have been thinking of the same and considered himself unlucky.
