It was important that I scored runs: Sehwag

Centurion:Delhi Daredevils captain Virender Sehwag can be as blatant as he wants to be, but he makes sense most of the times. Here's more from the man of the moment. Excerpts from the press conference::  On hitting form: It was very important for my team that I hit form before the semi-finals. I am very happy with the way I made the runs today. I was batting like I normally bat. It was good that I was able to make 50 off 35 or 36 balls. On increasing the foreign player quota: This is Indian Premier League and not an International Premier League. So it's better more Indian players play in this IPL. On his comment that he was one innings away from hitting form: I have never seen anybody who can flop in 10-12 games. So that's why I was very confident that I was one innings away from coming back to form. And today I got runs and I am pretty happy about it. On the top six doing well: We tried a couple of things after we got sure of a semi-final berth. Sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn't. Today we tried David Warner. He and Gauti gave us a good start. In three overs we got 36 runs. After that I carried on and played my shots. It is pretty good to have six international batsmen who have the experience of international cricket. They can then handle the pressure of IPL. On the ability to smash the ball over the top for six: Yes, everybody can smash the ball. But it depends on your day. If today is your day, tomorrow it could someone else's day. So there is somebody who can raise their game for Delhi. On whether he will bat in the middle-order again: No, it's not like that. I am not in form, so there is no point for me to go out and open. Gautam and David Warner have given us good starts in couple of games. They did the job for us again today. I am very happy about that. On the fact that they still don't know who their opponents will be: I think we have played twice against Deccan Chargers and Royal Challengers. So I am not worried about who our opponents will be in the semi-finals. I am okay playing against any team. On playing back to back games: Twenty20 is a three-hour game. So it’s not much of a problem. Everybody will go back to the hotel and do some relaxation, stretching exercises and take some massage and we will be ready for the game tomorrow. On resting Nehra: Ashish Nehra is our main bowler. He was rested because he won't be able to play back to back games as his body is like that, susceptible to injuries. So we have given him rest. But it is heartening to note that our other two bowlers -- Sangwan and Salvi -- are doing very well. On the four under-22 players concept: I think if he is good then franchises will pick him for next year as well. Shikhar Dhawan is an example. He did well for Delhi and Mumbai Indians picked him up this season.
