It is an amusement to watch Virender Sehwag bat when he is in form. The prolific opener is as honest in expressing himself as his bat does. Excerpts:
About feeling
No words to describe how great it feels. The kind of patience and concentration I played with here, I didn't display even in Multan (where Sehwag scored his previous triple-century in 2004).
About the feat
I dedicate this triple-century to my father, who passed away recently. It was always his dream that I should play for India. He would have been very happy today.
I also dedicate this to my wife and son, who are here with me. My wife has given up a lot and made a lot of sacrifices, and I dedicate this innings to her as well.
About joining Bradman and Lara as scorer of two triple tons
It feels great. I feel proud of myself.
About match
We plan to bat till lunch or tea tomorrow, and then plan things according to the situation.
About motivation
"I was really hurt when I was dropped for the Pakistan series. Maybe it was good for me as it motivated me. I had to prove that I belong. So I had to concentrate on batting to get a big score, and prove I was a better Test player than that.
About 400
I'll think about it if I'm batting till lunch tomorrow.
