No. Because basically he loves to play in the air. During middle overs, the fielding is spread out and it is quite difficult for him to constantly keep his shots down or choose the no man's land for his lofted shots. And he is not adept in milking the bowling for ones and twos or rotating the strike as fluently as others in middle order. I think, team india at this juncture does not require his services in the playing 11 at all. It holds true for the world cup as well. In the above time, let him undergo the domestic cricket grind and learn some footwork and revise the basics of his batting. Then maybe he can come back inside the team successfully as ganguly has done. What a wealth of talent, wasted unncessarily by him. Problem is, that chap concentrated more in endorsements than in match practice. Serves him well.

I dont think so he is just a player who likes to belt all the balls to the boundries.He should learn from his mistakes to hold the innings.

i don't think that he will learn from his mistake, he is a player who knoes only to hit the ball as hard as he can,he likes to blast only

i think sehwag should not open now becoz he is a nice player but as he is out of form so put him at middle order is a right desicion

i feel sehwag should open the innings with robin uttappa... v need stable ppl like dravid n sachin in middle order..

Sehwag should open the innings and he will utilize the first 15 overs advantage fully. He will score quick runs in the first 15 overs only. So he should open the innings with Robin Uthappa.

i am sure sehwag will be a failure again if he is fed into the middle order of the team.. he does not fit into the middle order of the indian team..in indian team the middle order batsmen hav to stand and score runs in most matches.. it would be a good position to bat for sehwag down the order.. he can come in the last ten or five overs and blast the opponents and boost up the indian score

i think he is capable to do much better and he can get his place back in team soon..he is a great player as an opener so i think opening position suits him,he has experience too which uthappa doesnt have

i dont feel taking him down to middle order will be better he is a atacking player who keeps the ball in air all the time and hits them hard which is a quality of a opener to score runs in begining .he will now have to become more responsable and will have to play grounded shots which every one is forcing him to do.. i will suggest to make him open again with robin and these 2 should give india flying start in beginging by scoring quick runs
