Viru relieved that Shoaib not at T20
MUMBAI, September 9: Virender Sehwag knows that the Twenty20 World Cup offers him a window of opportunity as far as his aspirations for making a comeback go.
Sehwag and four other players Irfan and Yousuf Pathan, Sree Santh and Joginder Sharma were to leave for South Africa later on Sunday night.
"I have practiced on cement wickets, with synthetic balls and the bowling machine. My focus has been to adjust myself to score runs off the yorkers, which could be deployed by the bowlers on a regular basis. I also practiced bowling yorkers myself, because they are the most difficult to hit," Sehwag said.
On Shoaib Akhtar's absence, the Najagarh dynamo said: "I'm the happiest. It is always advantageous to not have to face someone who bowls at more than 150kmh."
