Ahmedabad: Former captain Sunil Gavaskar feels opener Virender Sehwag’s decision to make a departure from his ‘see the ball, hit the ball’ approach went a long way in helping him score his first Test century in two years, here on Thursday.
“‘See the ball, hit the ball’ – that is not quite the attitude of Test cricket. It is a wrong thing he was looking to do. Now, he played himself in, you have got to spend time in the middle,” Gavaskar said.
Gavaskar was disappointed that Sehwag did not score a double ton.
“He was pretty determined, putting his head down. It’s a pity that he was not able to make a double century. That would have taken a way the game from England. Even he will be disappointed. When one gets to a century after a long time, one always likes to go on. But he has done his job. It is just a personal disappointment.” (PTI)
