New Delhi/Najafgarh: Virender Sehwag's coach was a proud man on Friday. But he wants his student to do even better.

"I hope he makes 400 runs tomorrow and becomes the first player in India. All other coaches used to tell me that he would make me famous," said AN Sharma, Sehwag's coach.

Sehwag's family, too, was delighted at his feat on Friday, but hoped he goes on to do the unthinkable.

"He is India's No. 1. My uncle is the best," says Sania, Sehwag's niece.

Adds his sister-in-law: "We are delighted. But 309 is still too few as he has already scored it against Pakistan once. We will be ecstatic when he crosses 400 and breaks Lara's record."
