New Delhi:
Former India skipper Rahul Dravid may have been the quintessential
modern-day batsman of this generation but that doesn't stop him from
praising the unorthodox yet effective Virender Sehwag, saying his former
mate is still a joy to watch.
"I think the
joy... When you think of Viru, you think of just the joy he brought to
the players that played with him and millions of fans. He redefined in a
lot of ways, for me at least, the way opening batsmen have been
perceived," said Dravid while speaking on Modern Masters, a new video
series on ESPNcricinfo.com.
Sehwag, 35, had little success in
this IPL season with Kings XI Punjab, but the Delhi dasher showed his
firepower with a 58-ball 122 in the second qualifier against Chennai
Super Kings to impress his fans and 'save' his young son from
embarrassment at school. Himself a perfectionist, Dravid said he likes
Sehwag's technique.
