Dashing Indian opener Virender Sehwag on Saturday criticised the pitch despite scoring a blazing 201 in the third and final Test against Pakistan here. "How can you say it's a good Test pitch? More than nine hundred runs have been scored in three days," said Sehwag, who helped his team avoid a follow-on with his brilliant knock. "A true Test pitch is the one which favours both batsmen and bowlers," said Sehwag, who has so far made 506 runs in the ongoing three-match series.
Sehwag,26, who scored India's first triple-hundred at Multan against the same opposition last year, said scoring big against Pakistan was always his aim.
"I try to make runs against other teams as well, but since we don't want to lose against Pakistan, the aim is to always score as much as possible," said Sehwag, who scored 173 in the drawn first Test at Mohali.
He followed it up with 81 in the second Test at Calcutta, where India won by 195 runs to gain a 1-0 lead. Sehwag defended his style of scoring briskly even in a five-day Test.
"It's my style whether I play a one-dayer or a Test. You don't need to change your style if you are performing well," said Sehwag. "We are not in a losing position," he said. "If we add another 100 runs on Day Four, the pressure will be on Pakistan, who have to set a target for us."
