If I can do nothing in the batting department If I could add, I should.” Work on my fitness in such a way that I can convert 100 to 200. When we came in the 2000s, he was more focused on fitness than us. Later, when Virat Kohli came in 2008, Sachin would match him. He paid more attention and focus to fitness than that,” Sehwag told Ranveer Allahbadia on his YouTube channel.
