Virender Sehwag is making strides towards greatness in Test cricket. He is fast bridging the gap between expected and actual results.
Daniel Vettori will have come up with something new to curb Virender Sehwag's free-flowing stroke-play and array of shots when India and New Zealand clash in the second One-Day International in Wellington on March 6.
India first upset England's good work of the first three days riding on Sehwag's belligerence and Tendulkar-Yuvraj's calm association to chase 387, the highest on Indian soil. In less than a week, South Africa registered a historic win, chasing a Herculean 414 batting fourth and rocked the foundation of Australian supremacy.
India chased a Herculean 387 runs in the fourth innings, riding on a blistering start by Sehwag and significant fourth-wicket stand between Yuvraj and Tendulkar, to win the first Test against England at Chennai on Monday.
One down in the four-Test series, Australia captain Ricky Ponting will be under pressue to deliver in the third Test at the Ferozshah Kotla in Delhi.
India have lots of positive to take from the first Test against Australia in Bangalore. For most part of the contest, it was Test match cricket at its best, with all three results likely at start of Day 5.
