Sehwag claimed that some foreign players come to India to enjoy a holiday rather than compete. He pointed out that while they talk about winning, their actual performance on the field doesn’t match their words.
Sehwag shared his experience working with foreign players who were keen to win tournaments for their teams. However, he didn’t see the same drive in Maxwell and Livingstone.
Praising David Miller
Sehwag praised David Miller for his dedication during nets sessions with Punjab Kings. Miller would help create turning pitches.
Miller would also practice against spin bowling. Sehwag saw Miller as someone who adapted to conditions.
- Sehwag’s comments have caused quite a stir.
- Many are reacting to his views on foreign players.
The discussion is ongoing, with many sharing their thoughts on Sehwag’s statements.
It’s worth noting that Sehwag and Maxwell had a reported fallout. Maxwell captained Punjab Kings when Sehwag was the team’s mentor.
Their differences have been talked about before. Sehwag has previously criticized Maxwell and other players for their off-field behavior.
