Virender Sehwag backs R Ashwin, calls Eoin Morgan a ‘hypocrite’

Virender Sehwag came out in support of his former India teammate R Ashwin after the spinner finds himself embroiled in yet another incident involving the fair play debate. The incident, which has been creating a buzz among the ex-cricketers, took place during the Indian Premier League clash between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders, which the latter won by three wickets.

While the game’s one of the greatest spinner Shane Warne termed the incident as ‘disgraceful’ and slammed Ashwin for his outburst, Sehwag formed a different opinion and reminded Morgan of England’s controversial World Cup triumph.

Sehwag in his tweet wrote: “On July 14th , 2019 when it ricocheted of Ben Stokes bat in the final over, Mr Morgan sat on a Dharna outside Lord’s and refused to hold the World cup trophy and New Zealand won. Haina ? Bade aaye, ‘doesn’t appreciate’ waale.”
