"I will play my natural game against SA" : Sehwag

Having worked on his shortocmings, dashing Indian opener Virender Sehwag sounded a warning ahead of the first test series against South Africa, saying he would play his natural explosive game against the Proteas.

Talking to reporters after a two-hour long gruelling practice session at the M A Chidambaram stadium here this evening, he, however, said he would have a good look at the wicket, see off the first hour and then play his natural game.

''I will have a look at the pitch, wait for the first 10 to 15 overs and then play my natural explosive game,'' Sehwag, who had scored a century in his debut match against the Proteas under seaming conditions at Bloemfontein in 2001, said.

''I have been preparing well for this series and I am in a good frame of mind to do well against South Africa,'' he said.

The Hero of Multan, where he became the only Indian to score a triple hundred against Pakistan in 2001, has been in and out of the side. But his performance against the Aussies has won him a place in the side.

''After getting dropped, especially in the test matches, for the last 12 months, I worked on my shortcomings and came back fighting harder.''
