Sehwag told Warner 'You'll be a better Test cricketer than a Twenty20 player'
|
|
Indian opener Virender Sehwag is said to have told New South Wales batting star David Warner that he would be better off playing Test cricket than one-day or Twenty20 cricket.
Revealing this to the Sydney Morning Herald ahead of the first Australia-New Zealand Test, Warner said that Sehwag was the responsible catalyst for his transformation from Twenty20 slugger to Test opener.
He said that two years ago, when he was a part of the Delhi Daredevils IPL squad, Sehwag had watched him a couple of times in the nets, and said: "You'll be a better Test cricketer than what you will be a Twenty20 player."
"I basically looked at him and said, 'Mate, I haven't even played a first-class game yet'. But he said, 'All the fielders are around the bat, if the ball is there in your zone you're still going to hit it. You're going to have ample opportunity to score runs'."
One of the finest batsmen of his generation, Sehwag will arrive for India's four-Test tour of Australia this summer having scored 22 hundreds in 92 Tests at an average of 52.
The key figure in the 33-year-old's impressive statistics sheet, however, is his strike rate. He has compiled his 7980 Test runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 82.12, by far closer to a run-a-ball than any of his contemporaries.
It is a philosophy that Warner has taken on in his still brief first-class career. He intends to do the same for Australia, starting on Thursday against New Zealand. Content to be cautious with the good balls, expect him to show no mercy with the bad. (ANI) |
