 Team concerned about top order: Sehwag
 Ahmedabad, Dec 22: Amidst the jubilation at a 2-0 series victory, stand-in captain Virender Sehwag today said that the team was worried about the lack of runs from its top order.
"We are concerned about the lack of runs from our opening batsmen and the top order and would be working to put this right," Sehwag, who led the side here in the absence of the unwell Rahul Dravid said after the win over Sri Lanka which sealed the rubber.
"We have batted well in away series in the recent past and I hope our top order does well on the tour to Pakistan," he said.
India lost half their side for 100 or less in both innings of the match before the lower order did the rescue act. The Delhi batsman was otherwise all praise for his side saying the whole "attitude in the team had changed." "We are enjoying our cricket and working hard. Maintaining a winning habit is also important," he said.
Mentioning Irfan Pathan and Mahendra Singh Dhoni for special praise, Sehwag said their presence "lifts the side." About Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh, he said they were "fantastic bowlers and it was tough to take the ball away from them when they were on song." Sri Lankan skipper Marvan Atapattu said his side had not done justice to its talent.
"We had our chances in Delhi and here too, but Laxman and Pathan took the game away from us," Atapattu said, adding "it was always tough to play two good spinners on a helpful pitch." {Agencies}
