Virender Sehwag has decided to rein in his natural agressive instincts a bit so
as not to throw away good starts as in the past when he re-enters the international
cricket arena through the Twenty20 World Cup starting in South Africa in
two days' time.
"I have been doing yoga training. I want to control my game and aggression
during the match days and hopefully I will do well," said the Delhi marauder
on the eve of his departure to Johannesburg along with four other teammates.
Sehwag reiterated that he was going to perform well in the
tournament which is concluding on September 24 and get back into the Indian
one-day and Test side.
"I have been out of the team since the tour of Bangladesh.
I am excited at playing for India in the Twenty20 World Cup. I have been
working at my batting and fitnes. Hopefully I will perform well and get back
into the Test and ODI side." Sehwag did not agree the tournament was a
make or break thing for him.
"My job is to perform and the rest is up to the selectors.
I am worried only about my performance." Sehwag, Haryana's Joginder Sharma,
Irfan and Yousuf Pathan of Baroda and Kerala pacer S Sreesanth, along
with Cricket Manager Lalchand Rajput and Administrative Manager Sunil
Dev are to depart for South Africa in the early hours of tomorrow morning.
The majority of the squad, to be led for the first time by
wicket keeper-batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni, are to land in South Africa
straight away from England. The list also includes Harbhajan Singh who
was playing county cricket.
