As speculations of India being renamed to Bharat are doing the rounds, Virender Sehwag is in favour of it happening sooner rather than later.
The former India captain even urged the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and secretary Jay Shah to ensure that Team India players have 'Bharat' on their chests at the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023.
'I have always believed a name should be one which instils pride in us. We are Bhartiyas. India is a name given by the British and it has been long overdue to get our original name ‘Bharat’ back officially,' Sehwag wrote.
