IPL 2017: Virender Sehwag ‘happy’ about MS Dhoni not being RPS captain

Former India opener and current Kings XI Punjab coach Virender Sehwag, recently said he is happy that MS Dhoni is no longer Rising Pune Supergiants’ captain and gave an interesting reason behind it.

“I am happy that he isn’t captain because maybe now my team, Kings XI Punjab, can beat this Pune team. On a serious note, I believe that this is an internal decision of the franchise but he is one of the best ever captains India has ever had,”  said Viru at the ‘SporTale’, sports-themed literary festival.
