India’s opening batsman Virender Sehwag has been ruled out of the ongoing ICC Twenty20 World Cup in England due to a shoulder injury.
Sources said Sehwag was advised to undergo a surgery for his shoulder injury.
The hard-hitting batsman, earlier, had to skip the opening match against Bangladesh including all the practice matches.
After Sehwag’s initial injury, Dhoni gambled with Rohit Sharma as Gautam Gambhir’s partner to open the innings. Rohit played well in the opening slot, and now, Rohit Sharma is likely to open for India in all the matches of the Twenty20 World Cup in England.
The BCCI named Dinesh Karthik as his replacement in India’s 15-member squad. Karthik is expected to arrive in London ahead of India’s first Super Eights match against the West Indies at Lord’s on Friday.
