Sehwag The Serene
What do you do when you are at the cusp of making history? When you know there are just a few runs separating you from a record that even The Don could not manage? Mortals clamp down on the scoring. They play carefully, try not to do anything silly. If you are Sehwag though, you just keep playing the way you know best.
What do you do then if you lose out on the record by a whisker? You are pained, you throw your bat about in disgust, you are extremely disappointed and tell everyone as much. If you are Sehwag though, you go out with a smile on your face. You acknowledge the fact that there was a record for the taking, that you missed an opportunity, but are not overly concerned. “There is always a next time”, you say.
I like that. There is a certain amount of selflessness in this approach. I like the fact that Sehwag is not too concerned about making and breaking records. It tells me that he will not alter the natural flow of his game just because he is near a milestone. Good for the team!
Congratulations and well done on the 293, Veeru. Veeru aur Jai (victory) ki jodi bani rahe!
