Despite losing his opening Dinesh Mongia with just six runs on the board and despite seeing Sachin Tendulkar, walking in at No 3, make a cautious beginning, Sehwag continued to play in his usual debonair manner. He had scarcely carved a remarkable six over cover, taking his score to 25 off 22 balls and that of his team to 38-1, when the rain came pouring down.
