India begin their campaign against minnows Hong Kong on September 18 before taking on arch-rivals Pakistan in a marquee clash the next day.
In Kohli's absence, a lot of responsibility will be down to the other players and it will be a perfect time for them to shine and seal their spot for the ICC World Cup 2019 squad.
Sehwag revealed that it was his opening partner Sachin Tendulkar who advised then captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni to bat up the order following the dismissal of Virat Kohli.
Mumbai are placed in Elite Group A and will begin their campaign against Baroda in Alur, near Bengaluru, on September 19.
The match was attended by Chief Justice of India, Dipak Misra, CJI designate Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) President Rajat Sharma.
Sehwag strongly believes that Dhoni should continue as India wicketkeeper until 2019 World Cup and Pant can take over only after his retirement.
The sharp response that came from Kohli is not the first from him when pointed queries come his way after disappointments.
Indian bowlers will also be wary of Zaman, who had scored a match-winning hundred against them in the Champions Trophy 2017 final.
