Under tremendous pressure for a prolonged run-drought, one more failure could have ended his World Cup dreams, but Virender Sehwag [ Images ] claimed he never lost sleep over the slump, and that he was sure about regaining his touch.

Adjudged the man of the match for his 114 in the Group B match against Bermuda, Sehwag said all he needed was bit of patience to be back among runs again.

"I was not worried about anything. This innings was long due and I was expecting it for a long time," said Sehwag, architect of India's [ Images ] thumping 257-run win against Bermuda.

"I was taking deep breaths in between the deliveries and telling myself that as long as I was there, runs will come," he said.

Sehwag also felt that he played lot straighter in this match and that made a lot of difference.

"Obviously I was playing lot straighter today. I have been practising hard to play straight and in fact in the last match too, I tried that", he said.

Sehwag felt the pitch at the Queen's Park Oval here also suited his batting style.
