Earlier I was also thinking like you but looking at present indian team makeup,I will surely bet for sehwag. Simply, because sehwag is a kind of risk which is worth taking and dravid has done one of the judicious thing by retaining him in the side in wake of coming world cup.

Because, If he gets going like afridi or chris gayle when the field restriction is on he can decimate any side in the world. On this fear psychosis of the bowler, I fully support inclusion of Viru in the indian cricket team. .

So who do you suggest as replacement? Certainly not Kaif or Raina who failed in South Africa (as Viru did). You also can't use a rookie unknown entity for the world cup

I think Mr. Venugopal Rao is the right replacement for him in middle order!!!!!

Your suggestion is really fantastic. Sehwag is a spent force. I suggest Krishnamachari Srikkanth or Robin Singh or Kapil Dev or Brijest Patel or Gavaskar or even Anshuman Gaekwad to take his place. Even at this age all of them can perform beter than sehwag
