Sehwag's mindset is totally different, says Dhoni

Dhoni said Sehwag is always full of positive energy irrespective of his form with the bat.

"When you talk about the mindset, that is why he is so special. Whether he is in form or not in form, it does not really bother him. He just keeps thinking positive. He was working a lot on his batting but still his approach remained the same," said Dhoni

"His (Sehwag's) role is very crucial, not to forget the experience that he has got playing in all the formats and also the fact that he still can get us a few wickets. We have not been using him too much in the bowling department but is still someone who can get us a few breakthroughs," said Dhoni.

The India captain said the way Sehwag plays, it is always easy for him to strike form after a lean phase.

"I don't think it is too difficult for someone like him to come back to form. We all know that form is about 15 runs here and there. All of a sudden from a very good run, you get out in 15 deliveries. It's the mindset that helps you get back in the game and that way, I think he is brilliant," he said.

Dhoni said people need more time to understand Sehwag's mindset.

"When it comes to Viru, you need a bit more time to understand him. All the players who have played with him and shared the dressing room with realise the fact that his

mindset is completely different
