"Hopefully I'll get one more chance before retirement"- Sehwag

Virender Sehwag

Virender Sahwag says that he still has hopes of making a comeback into the Indian team.

“I am still practising,” Sehwag told to NDTV. “Everybody wants to play for India and the youngsters are playing well. They are good players and they are scoring runs but I am trying hard, I am working hard on my skills and cricket. Hopefully I will get one more chance before I retire.”

“From my point of view, yes, they are playing well and doing well, so all the best to them. What I can do is I can train hard. I can go out there and play first-class matches and play club-level tournaments and try to score runs. That I can control, but I can’t control other things like selection.”

Sehwag’s recent form was really poor. From 10 first-class matches, he has played in this season, Sehwag has scored only 279 runs at an average of 19.92 with just one fifty.

He also expressed his attitude going in to the IPL auctions, after not been retained by the Delhi Daredevils - “I am going to the auction in the IPL and anybody can buy me. If somebody will buy me and Gautam [Gambhir] is there, or some other international cricketer is there, I’ll get a chance to play along with them,” Sehwag said. “It’s a good opportunity for the franchises, they have the option of buying big players and we are available. I am hoping the same team will buy me. Let’s see what happens in the auction.”
