Virender Sehwag trolls Sachin Tendulkar for bowling first in Road Safety World Series game

Virender Sehwag, however, has not been happy with his captain Sachin Tendulkar. Find out why.

Road Safety World Series: Virender Sehwag feels the strain of fielding after Tendulkar elects to bowl first again

On Tuesday, the India Legends team won the toss against the Sri Lankan legends and Sachin Tendulkar elected to bowl again. Talking to the broadcast team of the match after the toss, Virender Sehwag humorously expressed his unhappiness with Tendulkar for electing to field first again. Sehwag light-heartedly ranted about how fielding a whole 20 overs is very taxing on his body as he is not used to regular cricketing action. Sehwag's slowness was visible in the first match where India played the West Indies.

However, Viru's slow fielding and the exhaustion that it causes him has not affected the way that he bats. In the first match against the West Indies, Virender Sehwag scored a match-winning 74* off 57 deliveries and helped the Indian Legends to get to a convincing victory. In the second match, Sehwag could only score three runs while chasing Sri Lanka's 138. But Irfan Pathan's 57* blitz at the end of the innings helped India Legends get a second victory under their belt.
