Or did he lie? Here's what the city thinks

Dhoni is doing the right thing; he is not doing it for himself but for the Indian cricket team. Since Virender Sehwag is injured, it is better to keep him out of the team. Rohit Sharma should take the place of him. We should not create a mess out of small things.

Aswath (35), Senior Manager, Huawi
We do not know the actual story. I guess Virender Sehwag is just lying about his health. Dhoni is a good captain and he has no personal grudge against any cricketer. If he is not physically fit, he is unfit to play the game too.

Abhimannyu Padma (32), software engineer Logicon
Dhoni has been rude tou00a0 Sehwag to have not mentioned his injury at the press conference as reason for him being left out of the team during the IPL-T20. He is trying to boss over his seniorsu00a0 just because he has been elected the captain of the national team. I think he is playing personal politics.

Pranay Sharma (24), Businessmen
Virender Sehwag is a senior and very good cricketer. I guess Dhoni is having some personal problem with Sehwag that's why he has taken him out of T20

S Sumit (26), HR manager, Mafoi
Dhoni has nothing in his hands. It's the selectors who have been selecting the players for the team. So there's no point in blaming him. It is perhaps the media which is is making a big issue.

Rajeshwari Mehra (28) software engineer, Huawi
Dhoni is right. Why should he speak about Virender Sehwag to the media? We all know he has a shoulder injury and is unable to play. So that's why he is replaced by Dinesh Karthik. It's simple; we should not make a fuss about it.
