Sehwag reveals secret of Symonds mauling

New Delhi: With two wins in three matches so far, the Delhi Daredevils are placed fourth on the points table right now.

And as they prepare for the match against Bangalore on Wednesday, this is what Virender Sehwag told CNN-IBN. It's an exclusive interview.

Gaurav Kalra: Let me begin by asking you, it's less than a month ago that you got that triple hundred. But these days we tend to forget that. Have you forgotten it yourself?

Virender Sehwag: Not yet. I still remember both my triple centuries. But since we are busy in IPL, this is why I don't have much time to speak about my triple hundred.

Gaurav Kalra: Does it feel like a dream that you achieved something as magnificent as that?

Virender Sehwag: I'm really proud of myself as I became the first Indian to get a triple century. But I was pretty happy with my effort in Chennai. The conditions were not in favour of batting out a full day because of the humidity.

Gaurav Kalra: How has the IPL experience been?

Virender Sehwag: Fantastic. Thanks to Lalit Modi, thanks to the IPL to have brought this concept to India, which gives opportunity to the Under-19 and Under-22 players. Not only are they getting good money, but getting good exposure as well.

Gaurav Kalra: The other thing that happened that day when you got that brilliant 94 against Hyderabad, was that the crowd wasn't giving you the applause. What was that about?

Virender Sehwag: I was pretty happy with that because they shouldn't cheer for Delhi Daredevils. They were cheering for Hyderabad, the Deccan Chargers. I was surprised, but they did clap for me after the game. It's a domestic tournament, a city-based tournament.

Gaurav Kalra: That one over of Andrew Symonds, you must have enjoyed that. You got 30 runs in that over.

Virender Sehwag: I never planned that because I knew Symonds takes the pace off the ball, which made me go after him. But I tried to hit every ball because I wanted to go back to the hotel as my wife and son were waiting for me. Hence the shots. I'm glad they came off.
