"Both Gautam and I have a long way to go before becoming the best in the world. We have to be more consistent to get that tag. After all, it’s been less than a year since we are opening consistently for India," Virender Sehwag speaks to Indranil Basu in the Times of India.
Did Gautam Gambhir’s form in 2008 surprise you?
Not at all. I always had tremendous faith in Gautam’s ability to do well at the highest level. It’s not easy for anyone to get big scores from the word go in international cricket. When Gautam started playing international cricket, he was young and learning.
I am glad that he has done what I expected from him. In the absence of a player like Sourav Ganguly, Gautam is doing a perfect job. The best thing about his batting is the way he changes his game according to the situation. If he is playing a Twenty20, he is aggressive and in Tests, he is calm and composed. That augurs well for the team.
