Now Sehwag bats for Bharat Ratna for Sachin

Daredevils reached the semifinals twice in the first two editions but couldn't go the distance, and Sehwag said it was a bit of concern for the team. "Yes, it is a concern. We reached twice to the semifinals but couldn't finish on top. Hopefully this time results will favour us and we will go all the way. I can promise our fans that we will give our 100 per cent," said Sehwag, who regained captaincy for this edition after relinquishing the position to Gautam Gambhir in 2009 and 2010. Asked to recollect his thoughts after India won the World Cup in 1983, Sehwag said, "Frankly, I did not realise the importance of the victory. I was only four year old then. Now I am 32-year-old and I understand how big the achievement was at that time." "When my son grows up, I will show him the photos and videos of the World Cup that we have won and at that time he would definitely understand the achievement," he said. Asked if it will take some time for the new team members to gel in the IPL, Sehwag said it was the same with other teams as well. "There are a few new faces but they are all professionals. All of them know how to play their parts in a game. Moreover, besides Mumbai and Chennai, none of the teams have been able to retain too many players so it is ok," he said. Asked about his India team-mate Gambhir, who will turn up for Kolkata Knight riders after playing for the Daredevils in the last three editions, Sehwag said he has some plans against the left-hander. "Gautam is a good player but I know his strengths and weakness and in the IPL, when we come across him we will not allow him to score runs," he said. The event was also attended by all-rounder Irfan Pathan, Umesh Yadav, Naman Ojha, Morne Morkel and Aaron Finch besides coach Greg Shipperd. Irfan said it was a very important tournament for him and he would look to revive his international career by performing well for the Daredevils. "It is a right time and high time for me. I have been out for a long time now but here I am and I will look to perform well in the tournament and get noticed and get picked into the Indian team once again," he said. Asked what did he say to his brother, Yusuf Pathan, after India won the World Cup, Irfan said he congratulated him for the victory and patted for his wonderful gesture of lifting Tendulkar on his shoulders. "It was an emotional moment for the Pathan family and I was happy to see him carry Sachin on his shoulders. I congratulated him for the victory as well as for lifting Sachin. It was a wonderful gesture."
