The two centuries he rattled up in the ongoing one-day series against New Zealand has enormously boosted his confidence. The swashbuckling batsman said on Sunday that he was not scared of any bowler. If anything, he said would dominate them all in the upcoming World Cup. "I fear no reputation. Indeed I would say I haven't faced any bowler who could be termed outstanding," said the hard- hitting batsman who has savaged bowlers worldwide with his attacking stroke-play. Even as other top batsmen have struggled to get into their twenties on this current tour of New Zealand, Sehwag has already scored two centuries. And the man is in no mood to curb his aggressive instincts. "When I bat, I don't get bothered who is in front of me. I am more concerned with how to play my shots and when to play them," said Sehwag who has totalled 295 runs at an average of 49.17 from six matches in the one-day series, more than double of next highest scorer of Matthew Sinclair's 143. "If a batsman gets conscious about the bowler, he will not be able to bat. I am not conscious of the bowler - whether it is (Glenn) McGrath or (Shane) Bond or Shoaib Akhtar." ‘Viru’ is also confident of doing well in the World Cup in South Africa. "I have no preparation for the World Cup. I am only looking at the next match (last one-dayer against New Zealand). But having scored hundreds on these difficult wickets, I think I can go and get even bigger scores on other wickets," he said. "I am happy I would be going to the World Cup but there is no excitement. For me they are just normal matches," said the Delhi boy. in-depth coverage > Indian Cricket Team's New Zealand Tour > |
