One centurion to another: Virender Sehwag paid a handsome tribute to T Dilshan, who scored 160 off 124 balls yesterday. "Dilshan was playing his shots almost at will," Sehwag said of his Delhi Daredevils colleague. "Since I scored 140-odd runs in 34 overs or so in the morning, I think he probably realised that if he batted for about 40 to 45 overs, he could score even a double century."

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka coach Trevor Bayliss was in awe of Sehwag and his explosive batting. Sehwag's whirlwind 146 only added to the Australian's admiration of the Indian.

"Sehwag's form in this series is unbelievable. Nothing seems to be going wrong for him. Of course, his form is bit of a concern for us," he said in his post-match media conference.

Asked if his think-tank had any strategy to check Sehwag in the rest of the ODIs, Bayliss appeared to be struggling for an answer for a couple of seconds. He then remarked: "What can you do against a batsman in full flow?u00a0 He just loves to hit almost every ball he faces regardless of line and length of the delivery," the coach said.
