Jayasuriya about Sehwag

Virender Sehwag's form has nothing to do with his age, says Sanath Jayasuriya

Virender Sehwag's prolonged form slump has become a cause of concern but the struggling opener today received the backing of another swashbuckler Sanath Jayasuriya who said India needed an "impact player" like him to win matches.

"I find it difficult to understand why people criticise a match-winner like Sehwag. He is an impact player. Sehwag will not score 80 or 100 everyday but whenever he scores at least 70 at the top of the order, be rest assured that India will win matches more often than not," Jayasuriya said in an exclusive interview.
