Not converting good starts, says Sehwag

CHENNAI: Virender Sehwag had a poor domestic season when he averaged less than 20 in seven games with only one half-century to his credit.

But the dashing right-hander doesn't see too many mistakes in his game as he tries to make a comeback to the Indian team.

"When I watched the videos of my game, I did not find too many mistakes. The only mistake was that I was not converting the good starts into big ones," Sehwag, who has been picked up by Kings XI Punjab for the forthcoming IPL season, said.

The opener, in his prime, used to score heavily on green-tops across the world, but Delhi's decision to play on wickets with some grass this season didn't help him. "There were times when I could not score runs because of the grass on the wicket," Sehwag said, adding that "it's not an excuse".

The 35-year-old still has the urge to play top-flight cricket and he intends to stay fit to be in contention. "Fitness is crucial and the domestic first-class season helped me stay in shape."

Sehwag met a few underprivileged children on the request of his friend S Ramakrishnan, a former video analyst of the Indian team.
