Sehwag is a run machine that can terrorize any bowling attack. His return to form is treat to watch.
Now a question for the author of this report:
You opted to highlight Sehwag's 6th place position in the Top Ten but ignored the fact that Yuvraj is currently positioned higher at 4th place. Did we even knew that Yuvraj was ranked Number 3 before this? But you are keen to comment on his slip by a single position. Very selective writing indeed!
I almost missed your small mention of Yuvraj ranked number 3 Allrounder by ICC. Oh, I just realized that Yuvraj Singh is ranked Number 4 Batsman and Number 3 Allrounder. Is this a first by an Indian player? Top five in two different categories. Doesn't this deserve better coverage by media? Why does Yuvraj get this stepmotherly treatment? Are we looking at some biases that are deep rooted in the psyche of our journalists?
Did someone also forget to mention that Mahendra Singh Dhoni us ranked number 1 batsman by ICC?

Too bad end of day need to read entire article and jot down for position of batsman. Hate it. Rediff plz note it down so that ppl might open ur site instead of going to ICC website.Give a basic guideline to ur writers that rankings and listings based article should must include table.

Same feeling here. Individual table absent. Team table present.
Why were the wonderboys(to be correct...showmen) hiding behind Raina's and Rohith's in the last match? How many times we have seen this of late, they come up the order if there is a nice platform set by openers and hide in woods if chips are down. Guys without guts. Shame on their part for being scared of conditions. One fellow keeps poking at deliveries when there is slightest of swings and the other keeps running down the track and uses his whole body to stop the ball hitting stumps (as though some one is poking him from behind, even a gully cricketer will show some courage to play from crease). Was Rohith thinking it was a test match? Anyhow he is not in squad for test matches, why was he practicing for it then or was it our captain marvel's marvellous decision to frustrate Sehwag at other end and make him threw his wicket(just as he did in first match)?
azhar sir having limited team did well winning many important matches and finals also azhar sir if captain for today team should winning all matches dhoni not special for having good team with him also same for ganguly and dravid azhar sir team having only two batsmen always that is azhar sir and sachin also team having only two bowlers that is srinath and kumble with only 4 players nobody will win match other batsmen and bowlers was non-performing always same thing for sachin also when captain so azhar sir and sachin captain for weak india teams unfortunate but did best to win important matches nothing special for dhoni captaincy

You Forgot the Greats like ... Kapil, Srikanth, Siddhu, Ravi Shastri, Manoj Prabhakar... Ajay Jadeja... all played under Azhar's Captaincy.. Sorry Robin Singh.. All these were Good player.. No doubt Azhar is my one of the favorite player/captain.
I agree commenting on Dhoni having Good team.. But When Ganguly took the charge.. We were having worst ever team/player.. except ... Sachin/Dravid/Srinath/Kumble...
It was Ganguly who build the team and credit to him for todays success.. Such like Steeve Waugh .. for ponting's success .
Todays .. Sehwag/Yuvraj/Dhoni/Zaheer/Harbhajan/Pathan all were picked and build by Ganguly only.
