Virendra Sehwag’s semifinal picks
“Australia, England, India and Pakistan – these are the four semifinalist.”
“So many players from Australia, England and South Africa come and play in the IPL and they perform very well because of good tracks. However, they fail to repeat the same once the ball starts turning, so a team from subcontinent are favourite to win the tournament.” – Sehwag further added.
Thank you for reading.
