The Delhi dasher ended up on the losing side in an away game against Mumbai Indians on Saturday night. The following morning he left for Shirdi for a religious visit and is expected to move on to Delhi from where he will board a London-bound flight on Tuesday. Sehwag will undergo a shoulder surgery there and hence will miss the forthcoming tour of the West Indies. It is learnt that Delhi Daredevils may now be led by Australian all-rounder James Hopes. The Indian opener's decision to undergo surgery during the IPL and not before the mega tournament affects his chances of recovering fully for the all-important England tour. Sehwag was dismissed for two against Mumbai Indians on Saturday when he top edged a Munaf Patel delivery and was caught by Rohit Sharma. He scored a sizzling hundred in the previous game against Deccan Chargers at Hyderabad on Thursday.
