So too with Sehwag who, after a brilliant century on debut when he batted at number six, was asked by Sourav Ganguly to open in England. At first, he was hesitant, but took up the challenge and became one of the most destructive players in cricketing history in that position. On either occasion, if the player had worried about what happened if he failed, he would never have taken up the challenge. It is a great lesson for all of us.
