They can definitely emulate the performances of the team that played under Sourav Ganguly and won Test matches in England and Australia," Sehwag told PTI during an interaction. In my career, I have not seen cases where people have performed consistently and yet did not get a chance at the highest level," said the man, who has scored 8586 Test and 8273 ODI runs with 38 international hundreds. Tennis ball is a different pressure."Rishabh's future is very bright.The Test captain has the quality in its pace attack to win outside the sub-continent just like Sourav Ganguly's team did during 2000-2004.

There is a process in place for everything. The tournament is being promoted by Petromann, a UAE based oil and gas company.The Test team under Kohli has been invincible at home, having thrashed South Africa and New Zealand by identical margins of 3-0 and is also on a roll against England leading 2-0 in a five-match series. 

We have Umesh Yadav and someone like Ishant Sharma, who can also win India matches.For the dashing opener, what sets Kohli's team apart is the quality in pace attack that has forced someone like Ishant Sharma to wait in the wings. Post 2000, tennis ball cricket also became a career for a lot of players with prize money shooting up to Rs 51,000. People won't be happy for anything less than sixes and fours," Sehwag signed off. The tournaments I played had the winning team getting a purse of Rs 2100, Rs 3100 which would be divided among 11 players.""There is no reason why they can't replicate their performances at home in overseas conditions," said Sehwag, who is also the brand ambassador of world's biggest ever tennis ball cricket tournament 10PL carrying a total prize money of 250,000 Dirham. We have a brilliant bowler like Mohammed Shami.In the UAE to promote 10 Premier League or 10PL, Sehwag spoke about his teenage days in Najafgarh when he played a lot of tennis ball tournaments. People throng to the grounds to see a Dhoni, Tendulkar or a Sehwag hit sixes and fours."I, in fact, played a tennis ball tournament after playing for India."There wasn't use to be individual payments at that point of time in mid and late 90's in Delhi's tennis ball tournaments. He has to utilise that and I believe no one can then stop him from playing for India," Sehwag said. He will certainly get his chance to play for India A. Virender Sehwag impressed with Virat Kholi's Test team (Photo: AFP) # New Delhi: Virender Sehwag, the former Indian opener is confident about the current Test team under Virat Kohli..Sehwag feels that Rishabh Pant's future is very bright and he will certainly play for India. "Why not? I would love to play such a tournament. But 250,000 Dirham for tennis ball event is unheard of," said Sehwag. He will certainly play for India."I believe this team under Virat has the quality and capability of winning Test matches outside the sub-continent. Rishabh has to maintain this consistency and before one plays for India, there is India A."The potential of the batting unit with Virat as the leader, we have all seen.So will he be interested in playing in a such tennis ball tournament where one can find him hitting sixes and fours
