There's something about Virender Sehwag one just can't put a finger on. He thrives on impulse, but there's no one pattern behind his phenomenal success, which has made him India's most valuable Test batsman on current form and the last great batting talent to have emerged after Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly and Laxman.
His own take on the matter, of course, is radical. "There is a danger in thinking too much about your game," he says, "Too much analysis is bad for you."
There's a method to Sehwag's madness which only he knows best. As he nonchalantly sips tea in a corner of the room, having quickly retreated after being bombarded with questions about the upcoming Australia series during a media interaction, one asks what he went through in the period between being dropped from the Test squad ahead of the Bangladesh series last year and the comeback at Perth.
He flatly refuses to answer. "I don't like talking about myself," he shrugs, as if it's almost an effort to dissect his own game, his frailties or strengths.
He is far more comfortable when the talk veers to the others, to India's new talents and how he successfully coped with Ajantha Mendis in Sri Lanka.
