Sehwag happy with form – Cricket News Update
Indian opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy and is hopeful of carrying that momentum forward when he plays for his national team against England.
The aggressive batsman has struggled for runs over the past 12 months, with his only notable outing coming last year against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Uttar-Pradesh-c858 has indeed helped his confidence
after the player batted through injury concern.
Following his 25 in the first innings, Sehwag suffered an injury to his ring finger after attempting a catch off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Kaif-c77040 at slips. He was taken off the field and only returned to bat at no.6, with his team in plenty of bother. Nonetheless, he showcased
his prowess by grinding out the final hour on day 3 to remain unbeaten on 21 before piling up a three-figure score on the final day.
While his 107-run effort did not help a star-studded Delhi side avoid defeat against Uttar Pradesh, it certainly proved that he is back to his best. With a tough series against England just around the corner, Sehwag feels that runs under his belt will hold
him in good stead. He also added that his injury is not a big concern.
"I am happy that I scored 100 against UP. Whether I am back in form or not, is not for me to decide but I thought I played well enough and hope to do well (against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013)," he told PTI. "My finger is getting better. It's fine at the moment."
With him also closing on 100 Tests, Sehwag also spoke about the joy which comes when one plays for his country. "It was my dream to play for my country. Since the time I achieved that, my next dream has been to perform well and play 100 Tests for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
I am very happy that moment is coming soon," he said.
Despite the selectors naming http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447, still remain the best opening pair in the country.
"Yes, we are [the best opening pair in the country]. The decision [to include two more openers] is taken by the national selectors. They know it well."
