IPL franchise Kings XI Punjab mentor Virender Sehwag today said that he would want a bowler to become national team captain after Virat Kohli. KXIP’s opening IPL match against Delhi Daredevils is on Sunday.
“I am a great fan of a bowling captain. I watched Kapil Dev, Imran Khan, Wasim Akram as captains. In India generally you don’t give captaincy to bowlers, but hopefully after Virat (Kohli) some bowler will become the captain (of national team),” he said.
“We have the best team, if I compare last ten years. The team is a balanced one with right mix of Indian and foreign players.”
“I make sure that everybody is comfortable and that they get their own space and do whatever they want to do, which later helps them in giving their 100 per cent. Off the field we are very cool, we make sure that our colleagues laugh and crack jokes,” said Sehwag, whose designation is Director-Cricket Operations.
