He reflected, "Every team has its own philosophy. I was part of Ganguly's team, so I can speak to that mindset. I'm not part of the current Indian team, so I can't comment on their approach. Our goal was to play as many matches as possible and to win overseas. We worked hard at it, and under Ganguly, we achieved that." Sehwag also mentioned that he did not always play aggressively.He adapted his style based on the game's requirements, stating, "It's not that I always played aggressively.
