With the World Cup just around the corner, Indian opener Virender Sehwag says that the Indian team has done its homework well enough to give them a realistic chance to take home the trophy in front of a home crowd. India are placed in a tough group comprising England, South Africa,West Indies and underdogs Bangladesh who had beaten India at the last edition in 2007. “Bangladeshi people would be expecting their side to beat us again like in 2007 World Cup. But this time we are prepared well and confident of beating them in Bangladesh. It’s a revenge game for us. We will not take it lightly.
Describing the advantage of playing at home Sehwag who was speaking to a television channel said “we know the conditions better than other teams in our group. We know how wickets will behave. When we played against England last time, we have won 5-0. Against South Africa, we have done well against them in their country and in India. We recently won the Test series 2-1.” .
Sehwag also said that he was not concerned about the injuries and the loss of form affecting some of India’s key players Sehwag himself is coming out of a shoulder injury, Gautam Gambhir is recuperating from a hand injury while Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina are struggling for form. Sehwag contended that every cricketer goes through a rough patch at some point of time. “I am not worried with all these (injuries and slump in form to some players). Sometimes you perform well and sometimes you don’t. I was not performing well in 2006-07 but my time came in 2008, 2009 and 2010. I performed well and scored runs in both one-dayers and Tests. These things happen in every players’ career,” he said.
Sehwag added how it was special that he would be playing in India. “Every cricketer wants to play the World Cup and I am lucky enough to have played in two. I am very lucky that I am playing the third at home. I hope we will deliver and give our best shot. If the day belongs to us, we can beat any side,” he said.
Winning the World Cup would be the best gift to give to Sachin Tendulkar feels Virat Kohli “What he (Sachin) has achieved in his entire career, I don’t think anyone else will be able to achieve that. So it will be a great thing if we can win the World Cup not only for our fans but also for Sachin who is a special person,” the youngster commented at a promotional event in Delhi.
Standing in the way of that goal would be South Africa, Australia and England, which Kohli named as the three sides to watch out for.
