Virender Sehwag  the India opener, has left Bangalore for Delhi, where he is going to see a doctor about a minor rib problem. Sehwag was hit in the ribs during a training session in the lead-up to the match against England but played the game on Sunday.

"He is going to see a personal physician and is expected on Wednesday," Ranjib Biswal, the India team manager, said. "There is no major concern as such, but it seems he doesn't want to take a chance."

Biswal also said Sehwag had "a niggle in his shoulder" that was preventing him from bowling his offbreaks in the matches.

Sehwag aside, the rest of the Indian squad remained in Bangalore after their match against England even though their next game is only on March 6, against Ireland.
