Swashbuckling opener Virender Sehwag on Saturday said he would try to adopt some of his Test batting skills in the shorter version of the game to improve his run making.
"In Tests, I really don't have anything going in my mind. I have a lot of time to make my runs. In one-day cricket, I think I am trying to be too positive and thinking a lot. Maybe that is why I am not getting enough runs," the Indian vice-captain said on the eve of the fifth one-day cricket international against Sri Lanka.
"I will try to bat as long as possible, and I think then the runs would flow," he said.
Sehwag said he was not worried that he had not been able to convert good starts he has had in the series into big scores.
"Not at all. I have to just spend more time at the crease. I know I am doing the right things, and the team is happy with what I am doing. Every batsman and every bowler in this team has been performing his role," he said.
Coach Greg Chappell said the team, having clinched the series already, would look to give an opportunity to all the players in the remaining matches but refused to divulge the changes for Sunday.

{{/usCountry}}"We are looking to win every match. We would give the players as many opportunities as possible. We don't know when we might need the reserve players," the former Australian captain said.
"Rankings are a product of what we are doing. If we were number seven for a reason, we are number four for a reason," he said.
"What we are trying to do is get our own roles right. Our main focus is to play good cricket."
Chappell said no decision had been made on whether to rest Sachin Tendulkar for Sunday's tie.
He, however, said that considering the amount of cricket that lay ahead, the players would be rotated to keep them fresh and also ensure the team maintained its winning momentum.
"That (rotation) is always a possibility. Giving others opportunity should keep the key players fresh. It also keeps the freshness going and at the same time gives rest to the senior players. Where opportunity exists, we would give the players a break, but we can't afford to let the momentum go down," he said.
