'Can’t have ego when you bat': Sehwag slams Rohit, Surya

“Whoever bowls good, just play him out. If two wickets hadn’t fallen, Rohit and Suryakumar could’ve finished the match an over before

Former India opener Virender Sehwag slammed Mumbai Indians’s (MI) batting duo Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav for taking too long to get set and then giving their wickets away without making any significant contribution in the match against Kolkata Knight Riders.

In a rain affected encounter which was reduced to a 16-over game between the two historical powerhouses on Saturday, Rohit scored 19 off 24 balls while Suryakumar managed to record 11 off 14 after MI started their chase of 158 strongly with Ishan Kishan scoring 40 off 22.

“Whoever bowls good, just play him out. If two wickets hadn’t fallen, Rohit and Suryakumar could’ve finished the match an over before. Vaibhav Arora, Mitchell Starc, Andre Russell and Harshit Rana had to bowl anyway. If they played out the spinners and didn’t lose wickets, they would’ve won the game. You can’t have an ego when you come out to bat. You play them out or punish the loose deliveries,” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.
