We want to give break to the  top three batsmen, either Gautam (Gambhir) or Tendulkar will take a  break and maybe I can play,\u201d he said. Sehwag said the rotation in the  top order was largely intended to give opportunity to the youngsters to  get used to the conditions where the next World Cup will be staged in  2015.<\/p>\n<p>However former captain Sunil Gavaskar on Tuesday slammed  the proposed rotation of the top-order batsmen in the Indian team in the  cricket tri-series in Australia, saying that it suggested that the  players were unfit. <\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>The Times Of India, <\/strong>Gavaskar  criticised the move and said that the best players should be fielded  till the knock-out stage. &#8220;The primary thing is to field a balanced team  and to win matches. This business of rotation suggests that the players  are unfit. The best team should be fielded even if a player has played  eight matches successively. If all the players are fit, everybody should  be in the mix,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sehwag, who in most probability will play the second <strong>ODI, <\/strong>said that he plans to retain his style of batting, reports The Hindu.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cI tried to play a little differently in Perth because the ball was  doing something. It didn&#8217;t work so I went back to my own style. I will  do so in ODIs as there are only 50 overs and you want to give a good  start to the team. My method of playing is to show a little respect to  the new ball and then go after the bowling, depending on who is bowling.  If someone is bowling well, you have got to give him some respect,\u201d  Sehwag said.<\/p>\n<p>News reports also quoted Sehwag wishing Yuvraj  Singh, who is battling cancer, a speedy recovery. &#8220;Yuvraj I heard is  taking chemotherapy but I&#8217;m hoping that he will be fine and he&#8217;ll come  back soon. We will all pray for Yuvraj and wish he&#8217;ll be fit soon,&#8221; he  said, adding that he was confident that the stylish left-hander, who  played a stellar role in India&#8217;s World Cup win, will emerge victorious  in his battle. &#8220;He&#8217;ll come out of whatever problem he is having and he  can play as soon as possible,&#8221; Sehwag said.<\/p>\n<p>While the BCCI is  still looking for a sponsor for the team after the Sahara India Group  snapped all ties last week and ended their association with Indian  cricket for 11 years, India opener Virender Sehwag wants them to  continue with team. \u00c2 <\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>The Times of India, <\/strong>Sehwag  would love to don the Sahara logo. &#8220;Sahara are main sponsor for the  last couple of years, and we love to have Sahara on our chests, we are  pretty happy if Sahara will continue,&#8221; Sehwag said, adding that he would  love to don the Sahara logo, the team will respect their decision. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s  their decision and we respect their decision, I know Sahara Sri is very  fond of cricket and other sports. It&#8217;s his decision if he wants to  continue with the team he can or otherwise he can pull out,&#8221; he added<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indian Express quotes Virender Sehwag saying that he was rested as part of the rotation policy and that he will be back for the second One-day International of the CB series against Sri Lanka at WACA in Perth. \u201cThey will decide on it tomorrow.
