Too much method should not be applied on Sehwag: Chappell
20.37 IST   24th Sept 2005

By Agencies

Even as he is gunning for captain Sourav Ganguly, India's cricket coach Greg Chappell says that his biggest challenge is to harness Virender Sehwag whose explosive talent should not be "ruined" by applying "too much method".

Three months into his job as the coach, the Australian great, who has created headlines with his extra-ordinary attack on Ganguly whom he considers unfit to lead the team, regards the dashing Sehwag as a "rare talent" "He is so instinctive that there is a fear if too much of method is applied on him, it might end up ruining his rare talent," Chappell told PTI in an exclusive interview.

"He is a delightful and most interesting person. He probably in many ways will be one of the great challenges of my coaching stint in India," said Chappell as he looked to harness the talent of Sehwag for the benefit of the Indian team.

The former Australian captain said that Sehwag has been getting the starts but has not been able to convert them into big scores.

"Sehwag has lately been getting off to his customary explosive starts but is unable to convert them into big knocks. Finding a way to use his immense talent efficiently and in the best way for the balance of the team is going to be my biggest challenge.

Chappell said he had some thoughts on how to get the best out of Sehwag but would prefer discussing it with the dashing batsman first.
