4 Legendary batsmen who were not given a send-off by their board

#1 Virender Sehwag

Virender Sehwag - India v Bangladesh:

Virender Sehwag has been one of the most explosive batsman of all time. He made his debut in 2001 against South Africa. As an opening batsman, he changed the way Test cricket was played. Sehwag made it attacking, fast, and explosive.

In his illustrious career, he played 104 Test matches and 251 ODI matches. Sehwag made in excess of 16800 international runs with an amazing display of shots and temperament. His 'See the Ball, Hit the Ball' philosophy was admired by none other than Ian Chappell. He is the only Indian batsman to hit two triple centuries in the Test matches.

However, he was coerced to retire from the sport when his poor form started. Sehwag said in a TV show Aap Ki Adalat, “Had the selectors told me they were going to drop me, I could have requested them to allow me to play my last Test in Delhi (vs Australia in 2013) and then announce my retirement, but they did not give me that opportunity. A sort of sadness shall always remain in my mind that I was not allowed to retire while playing, but anyway, it’s all a part of life for a sportsman.”
