To hear Sehwag talk about the game is to discover a sharp and dutiful
mind at work beneath that faraway look. Not that his career has been
faultless. At times he has lost his appetite for the game, with its
hotels and tours and room service, and then he has played poorly and
the team has suffered on and off the field. Although he had already
batted magnificently in a World Cup final and against the Australians,
he was deservedly dropped. A willing battler gives better service than
a reluctant star.Realising that he enjoyed the game, perhaps even
needed it a little bit, Sehwag came back not as a whiner but as a
leader, and ever since has been a powerful force in the side. When he
speaks it is not about his own brilliance or pleasure but about his
need to give the team a good start. And he means it.
Interestingly Sehwag is most talked about batsman for this India-Australia series. I really hope he clicks!
