The world champions are in the midst of a disastrous tour of Australia and the selectors, it is learnt, could be under pressure to leave out the experienced openers after a run of poor form.
While Tendulkar is still hunting for his elusive 100th international hundred, Sehwag, who slammed only the second double ton in ODI's against the West Indies in December, has been struggling Down Under.
Though, both Sehwag and Tendulkar made decent contributions in India's successful run chase against Sri Lanka in Hobart on Tuesday, they could be left out, given their poor run of form.
Tendulkar has managed scores of 7, 24, 28, 2, 48, 15, 3, 22, 14 and 39 in his last 10 overseas ODI's, Sehwag only garnered 10, 20, 0, 5 and 30 after his record-shattering 219.
Senior pacer Zaheer Khan could also be left out, paving the way for Ashok Dinda. Amongst the batsmen, Manoj Tiwary might well retain his place despite not being played in Australia. Tiwary had scored a hundred, also against the West Indies in the last ODI he played.
