Not doing well in your chosen filed and currently out of favour with the five supposedly wise men of Indian cricket (our national selectors)???? fear not as politics and a ticket to political stardom well might prove to be your next destination.......
Highly placed sources within the Indian National Congress have duly confirmed the whispers about the party roping in the renowned Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag into the party fold also offering him the golden opportunity of contesting as the party's candidate from the ultra prestigious South Delhi constituency.........
One may do well to remember that Sehwag's sister Anju Meherwal is a long standing Congress member as well as the municipal councillor from the Dakshinpuri Extension ward which is an integral part of the above mentioned ultra prestigious constituency.......
Sehwag has also displayed a more than passing interest in the offer made to him by the Congress party bigwigs and is said to be actively considering the same as he was last seen in Indian colours almost two years back and is in the twilight of his career being on the wrong side of 35 and all that......
On his part, Sehwag has maintained a studied silence on the issue thus far, he has failed or then chosen not to respond the numerous queries posed to him by the national media on this issue and an enigmatic smile has been the only response that the media has been able to elicit from him thus far.......
If Sehwag bites the bait, he will join the ranks of two other former Indian cricketers Mohammad Azharuddin and Mohammad Kaif both of whom are trying their luck at the political hustings in team Congress colours.......
As a Congress bigwig put it, " the party does need a celebrity face to turn the turbulent tide that is currently not flowing in the party's favour within the national capital"......
"Sehwag is a known and instantly recognised/identified face and a Jat to boot, he will not only garner the thousands of Gujjar and Jat votes that are on offer within the South Delhi constituency but also help the party in consolidating it's hold on the votes of these two communities in such other constituencies where their votes are crucial to the ultimate outcome", the party bigwig signed off........
Will Sehwag indeed grab the carrot that is being dangled before him by a rather desperate Congress Party that seems to be at the end of it's tether or then will he prefer to let his bat do the talking in the forthcoming Deodhar Trophy as well as IPL matches????shall we wait for Sehwag to provide us with the answer to this conundrum in his trademark style.....
