Dhoni behind Sehwag's exclusion, hints Ganguly

March 10, 2013 19:10

Expressing surprise over the dropping of India opener Virender Sehwag, former captain Sourav Ganguly reportedly told a Bengali television channel on Saturday that current team skipper MS Dhoni had a hand in the exclusion.

"I am surprised about the fact that sehwag has been dropped. Such a big decision can't happen without the captains consent. If a captain backs the likes of Laxman, Dravid, Sachin and Sehwag, then it becomes difficult for selectors to drop them. Dhoni definitely had a say on Sehwag's dropping," he told a private news channel in Kolkata on Saturday.
