Tillakaratne Dilshan's sizzling form worries Virender Sehwag but the stand-in India skipper is confident that his pacers would remove the Sri Lankan danger-man early in the third one dayer here tomorrow.
Dilshan has cracked back-to-back centuries to underline his growing stature as one of the most dangerous openers in
contemporary cricket, mixing aggression and innovation in his batting.
Sehwag, Dilshan's teammate at Delhi Daredevils, reckoned trying to contain the Sri Lankan would not work and the pacers would have to go for his wicket.
"It's very difficult to stop somebody who is in such a good form," Sehwag said in the pre-match press conference.
"We must think of how to get him out instead of thinking about stopping him. I am sure our Zaheer (Khan), Ishant
(Sharma), PK (Praveen Kumar) will work it out," said an optimistic Sehwag.
The Delhi player finds himself in the skipper's job after regular captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was slapped with a
two-match ban because of the team's slow overrate in Nagpur.
Asked if it was a troublesome job for him, Sehwag said, "It's not difficult. I am part of the team and I know who is
playing, who is not playing. I know of our strategy and planning. I don't think it's any kind of a problem."
