Who is Virender Sehwag?

What did Virender Sehwag say about Mayank Agarwal?
The former Indian opener said that Mayank Agarwal’s batting has been affected since taking over captaincy.
In the previous 2 seasons, Mayank Agarwal has scored 400+ runs but, this year the opener has managed only 37 runs in 3 innings.
This is surprising, given the consistency he has shown over the years.
“I am concerned about his batting. Since becoming captain, his batting has been affected. He was consistent last year with the bat. He should focus on his batting and forget about his captaincy when he walks out to bat. Because this is the only format that allows the batter to swing hard from ball one. See ball, hit ball.” claimed Viru.
Mayank Agarwal would hope to get some runs in his bag when he and Punjab take on Gujarat Titans tonight.
Punjab Kings are sitting in the 5th place, with 2 wins in 3 matches. They will go to the 2nd position with a win against GT.
