India's stand-in skipper Virender Sehwag said he is happy to seal the series here itself, for he doesn't know how the pitch in Delhi -- venue of the fifth and final ODI against Sri Lanka -- would behave.
"We wanted to win the game here and finish it off as I am not sure of the wicket in Delhi," Sehwag after India beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the fourth ODI to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.
With the series in the hosts' pocket, Sehwag reckoned the pressure would now be on Sri Lanka.
"We are happy for the last match in Delhi as we know the pressure would be on Lankans," Sehwag said.
Leading the side in absence of regular skipper MS Dhoni, who is serving a two-match ban, Sehwag said the success of youngsters like Virat Kohli, who struck his maiden ODI century today, augured well for India's 2011 World Cup prospects.
"It's very important that youngsters like Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja get going and play 18-19 matches ahead of the World Cup in 2011. If we get the full strength side we can win the World Cup," Sehwag said.
"Virat is very talented. It's good to see him play such a knock. And thank to Gautam Gambhir for guiding Virat Kohli," he added. PTI
