Great to win the series in Kolkata: Sehwag

Kolkata : A jubilant Indian stand-in captain Virender Sehwag Thursday night praised Virat Kohli and other youngsters in the team and said he was happy to finish the series in Kolkata.

\"This team has lot of bench-strength. We did not have Yuvraj Singh and M S Dhoni in the team. It\'s a good sign for India that the youngsters are playing well. Virat Kohli proved his worth,\" he said after India successfully chased an imposing Sri Lankan total of 315 for six to win with seven wickets and 11 balls in hand at the Eden Gardens.

\"We wanted to finish the game in Kolkata because here we had a good wicket to bat on. We don\'t know what kind of wicket we will get in Delhi,\" Sehwag said after clinching the five match series against Sri lanka.

Sehwag, who led the team at Cuttack and Kolkata following the two match ban slapped on regular captain MS Dhoni for slow over rate, said now the team will not be under any pressure in the fifth and last match in Delhi.

He added that faced with such a huge total, the Indian did not want to lose wickets.

\"Our thinking was we should not lose wickets in the first ten overs. We had beaten Pakistan earlier at the Eden after putting up a big total. We knew the dew factor becomes important as the evening progresses. Them bowlers cannot spin or swing the ball. They have problems in gripping also\".

\"So we thought if we do not lose early wickets, we can finish off the game. We lost two, but then Kohli and Gambhir finished it off\".
