Sehwag, Gambhir back Jaitley amid corruption storm

Date:

Facing allegations of corruption, under-fire former Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) President Arun Jaitley on Sunday got the backing of the two biggest stars to emerge from the state – Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir.

Finance Minister Jaitley, who headed DDCA for 13 years till 2013, has been accused of corruption by the Delhi Government during his tenure. The state government has demanded that Jaitley must resign or be “removed” from the union cabinet to enable an independent probe.

However, Gambhir and Sehwag came out strongly in support of Jaitley.

Sehwag, on his part, lauded Jaitley for being there for players. The swashbuckling batsman, who switched loyalties to Haryana from Delhi and retired from international cricket earlier this year steered clear of making any political claim but lauded Jaitley’s role in helping players in a series of tweets.

The veteran of 104 Tests is one of the biggest names in international cricket to have emerged from Delhi.

Sehwag found support from his Delhi and India opener Gautam Gambhir, the current captain of the Delhi team. He also tweeted his support for Jaitley.
