Why Aussies didn't sledge Indians? Sehwag's Take!
By: Tupaki Desk | 4 Oct 2017 7:22 AM GMT
Former Indian Opener Virender Sehwag opined Australian Cricketers didn't sledge Indian Cricketers during the recently concluded ODI Series because of the fear of losing their Indian Premier League (IPL) contracts. 'Australians are scared of sledging Indian Players because they fear it could ruin their chances of earning huge money in the IPL Auctions scheduled to happen next year. If they sledge Indian cricketers, IPL Franchise Owners mayn't bid high for Aussie Players,' he says.
When India and Australia played Test series early this year, Aussie Players have sledged Indian skipper Virat Kohli & other players. Australian Skipper Steve Smith made a fool of himself by looking towards dressing room for assistance on DRS in the second test at Bengaluru. Smith later described it as 'Brain Fade'. India won the Test Series 2-1.
In the recent ODI Series, Australians lacked the aggression for which they were known for and this raised many doubts. Sehwag says 'brain fade' incident might have kept the Aussies quiet this time. He feels the Australian side lacks confidence as it's relying on just 2-3 players such as Warner, Smith and Finch.
