Virendra Sehwag Criticizes Ruturaj Gaikwad and Stephen Fleming Over Team Selection

Virendra Sehwag sharply criticized Ruturaj Gaikwad and Stephen Fleming for excluding Akeal Hosein from the playing XI in a crucial knockout match against Gujarat Titans. Sehwag described the decision as "clown-level management" and expressed disbelief at the Chennai Super Kings think-tank's strategy.

Sehwag emphasized that benching a key player like Hosein in a do-or-die match was an illogical choice and warned that if Chennai loses the tournament due to this, Gaikwad and Fleming should be held accountable to the fans.
