It seems that Virender Sehwag’s bid to make a comeback is being halted by nature. Few days after the final of the Duleep Trophy was washed out in Kochi due to improper drainage facility robbing Viru of valuable batting practice, Sehwag’s first Ranji game of the season also saw wet outfield wash out the first day’s play. It had been raining over the past two days and although the weather was fine on Sunday, which was the scheduled first day, Keenan Stadium was waterlogged. The umpire will inspect the ground on Monday. Sehwag has been desperate to get into form and among runs after being discarded by the national selectors. He played the Challenger Series with mixed results but missed out on scoring in the games with West Indies A. This season is key for both him and Gautam Gambhir, who too hasn’t been in favour with selectors. Gambhir too couldn’t play the Duleep final and was down with viral before beginning his Ranji campaign.
