5. Virender Sehwag
The legendary batsman admitted he was hurt after being dropped in the middle of the Test series, 2013 without any communication from the management. When he was asked about BCCI and team management's lack of communication, Sehwag told the media, "Absolutely, nobody called me from the team management, selectors or BCCI. I got to know about it from newspaper, that hurt me then but I am fine with it now".
It is difficult for a player to accept such decision when he himself is not ready for it. He told media, "When I got dropped, I was thinking that I'm a good player and can get back into the Indian team but I was still living in the mindset that I am an aggressive opener and can score runs but I did not realise that domestic cricket is totally different to international cricket and I was still playing in the same way".
