“If only I had converted those, I might have ended up with so many more centuries in my career. These opportunities don’t come again and again. When you’re batting well, on the day that it’s your day, try to finish unbeaten — that’s always better. Keep that in mind.” Sehwag addressed this in the same interaction.
