'We Had A Lot Of Top Order Options': Sehwag On Delhi Picking Sangwan Over Kohli In IPL 2008
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag has revealed the reason behind Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) not signing Virat Kohli before the inaugural season in 2008, saying they had a bunch of top-order options and needed more bowlers,
Sehwag was the captain of the side in the first season after signing for them before the first-ever auction as an 'icon player.' "So at Delhi Daredevils back in 2008, the inaugural IPL season, I remember Shikhar Dhawan was also in our team along with Tilakratne Dilshan. Both of them were openers, but we used to make them bat at three and five because Gautam and I used to open the innings. Manoj Tiwary had taken the number four spot. So we had a lot of top-order batters in the team, and it was becoming difficult to fit all of them in the batting order," Sehwag told Star Sports.
"At that time, Virat Kohli was also batting at number three or four. So we didn't even have space to bring him in. We lacked a bowler, so we decided to go with Pradeep Sangwan instead of Kohli," he added.
