Stand-in India captain Virender Sehwag denied any rift between the Indian cricketers after their loss to Sri Lanka in the eighth ODI of the CB Series at Brisbane.
"But you have to ask Dhoni again. What he told us was to give chance to youngsters and come here and play the next World Cup. That was what he told us," said Sehwag.
"He chatted with everyone, with Gautam and me and Tendulkar, he wanted to give chance to youngsters so they can play all the matches and prepare themselves for the next World Cup. They would have an idea how the wicket behaves in Australia.
Dashing opener Sehwag also conceded that he needs to improve his batting performance at the top of the order to win matches for India.
