Sehwag wants his son to play in IPL
Last year, Virender Sehwag had said that his son is already working extremely hard to be in the IPL in the coming years.
“The IPL has benefited young talent the most. Earlier, nobody got noticed for Ranji Trophy performances and hence couldn’t make it to the Indian team. But now, if you perform well in the IPL and you showcase your talent, then immediately, you get an opportunity to play for the Indian team,” Sehwag said.
