What Sehwag had to say after making history

It is an amusement to watch Virender Sehwag bat when he is in form. The prolific opener is as honest in expressing himself as his bat does. Excerpts:

About feeling

No words to describe how great it feels. The kind of patience and concentration I played with here, I didn't display even in Multan (where Sehwag scored his previous triple-century in 2004).

About the feat

I dedicate this triple-century to my father, who passed away recently. It was always his dream that I should play for India. He would have been very happy today.

I also dedicate this to my wife and son, who are here with me. My wife has given up a lot and made a lot of sacrifices, and I dedicate this innings to her as well.

About joining Bradman and Lara as scorer of two triple tons

It feels great. I feel proud of myself.

About match

We plan to bat till lunch or tea tomorrow, and then plan things according to the situation.

About motivation

"I was really hurt when I was dropped for the Pakistan series. Maybe it was good for me as it motivated me. I had to prove that I belong. So I had to concentrate on batting to get a big score, and prove I was a better Test player than that.

About 400

I'll think about it if I'm batting till lunch tomorrow.
