While Ricky Ponting has become the target for those condemning his behavious over his run out against Zimbabwe, the two Indian openers have called truce over their run out mix up in India’s match against Bangladesh in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.
A promising innings was nipped in the bud as India’s first wicket came by way of a run out. And the culprit appeared to be Virender Sehwag on all counts. While it was not clear whether Sachin Tendulkar had called for the run, Sehwag himself confirmed that Tendulkar did call and that Sehwag was guilty of ball watching which was the general surmise at the end of Tendulkar’s dismissal.
However, unlike the Australian captain who unwittingly unleashed his anger inadvertently on the dressing room furniture, Tendulkar had time to sit back int he dressing room and watch as Sehwag made amends with a brilliant 175 to get India in an indomitable position.
Later Sehwag sought Tendulkar’s apology and true to Tendulkar’s form, he apparently told Sehwag that winning the match for India was more important. And that Sehwag had then played such a match winning knock could have only gone in his favour with the batting maestro. But perhaps for India’s sake, Sehwag will watch out for Tendulkar’s next cue rather than be found guilty of watching the ball again, particularly when it is not his call.596193
