Indore: Virender Sehwag was touted to break the 200 run mark in ODIs first and when Sachin Tendulkar did the unthinkable, the Master pinned the onus next on Sehwag and the Nawab of Najafgarh obliged and went precisely 19 ahead with a maniac innings of 219.

But according to Viru, he never dreamt of the magical figure. Talking after the first innings at Indore in the 4th ODI, the maverick opener said. “I never dreamed of reaching the milestone. I was not at all thinking about 200 till the batting powerplay was taken”.

Sehwag had a poor run of form and he got his partner Guatam Gamhir to open with him for the first time in the series and rest, as it is said, is history. He also added, “I was talking to Gauti all throughout and told him that we can score big. We have to bat patiently and if we bat till the 30 overs we can put up a huge total. The wicket is a true batting pitch and hitting the gaps was the key”.

When asked about the expectations from the fans, he was quick to counter stating, “Everyone expected this from me and I live on expectations. When Sammy dropped the catch, I thought god has helped me to get to 200”.
