Hectic schedule? No problem, says Sehwag

Talk about the killing calendar the Indian cricket board has chalked out for the Men in Blue and Virender Sehwag tells you BCCI has offered a solution for it.

"The BCCI has categorically told us that if any cricketer needs rest, he can take it. There is no problem," Sehwag said it in a matter-of-fact tone on Wednesday.

Ruling out the theory that IPL could be hectic for the Indian cricketers, as it comes bang after the World Cup, Sehwag said: "IPL is not hectic. Twenty20 is fun and the IPL offers enough rest, as there are gaps in between the matches. It's a great opportunity for the youngsters to come and show their talent."

When asked about his dismissal in the final match without scoring a run, Sehwag answered boldly. "Individual performances don't matter much. It's all about the team. In the World Cup, we played for each other and the main thing is we are the champions."

The swashbuckling batsman also said that the Indian team has a lot to achieve under MS Dhoni. "Some of the greats have already praised him. But all I say is that the Indian team has a lot to achieve under him," he said.

He then spoke about his IPL team, Delhi Daredevils, who are going to miss a big star like Gautam Gambhir. "Every team has a new combination. We also have a good team. At least we know what every player is capable of doing. Our job is to give 100 per cent on the field and the rest will follow."
