It has come at the right time. Every hundred is important. Scoring a hundred in the first innings and first Test match of the series is good. I never doubted my ability and this hundred was long time due,\u201d Sehwag said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the wicket, Sehwag said, \u201cThe wicket is slow and therefore it\u2019s difficult to hits shots. I was relaxed after getting to my fifty and played my shots. We hope our batsmen will build on tomorrow to take us to 500-plus. Hopefully, we will bat till tea tomorrow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sehwag said he watched the videos of his past knocks that took cue from his big innings in the past. \u201cI have to thank my video analyst Dhananjay. We watched the videos of my past innings where I got hundreds, till 11 pm last night. I saw that when I played the first ten overs cautiously I had reached 100. I did the same today,\u201d Sehwag revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Praising Gautam Gambhir and Cheteshwar Pujara for their innings, Sehwag said, \u201cGambhir played well and we gave the team a very good start. We put on more than 100 runs together which is a good sign. Pujara also batted very well. He has patience and hit the loose balls,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-2820\" style=\"margin: 6px; float: left;\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/virender-sehwag.jpg\" alt=\"This hundred was long time due: Sehwag\" width=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/virender-sehwag.jpg 160w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/virender-sehwag-150x94.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/>Ahmedabad:<\/strong> Virender Sehwag hit a brilliant hundred to put India in the driving seat after the first day of the first Test match between India and England.
