Former India captain Sourav Ganguly feels that dashing opener Virender Sehwag will take some more time to be in the same league with the legendary West Indian batsman Vivian Richards.
"(Virender) Sehwag has reached very close to him, but it will take some more time for him to cross Viv Richards. As of now, I think Richards is a bit ahead. He is in a different league altogether," Ganguly said during the shooting of a TV quiz show last night.
But the ace left-hander was all-praise for Sehwag, who had missed out on a record third Test triple century after getting out for 293 against Sri Lanka in Mumbai.
"Sehwag is an outstanding player. I have played with him and so its natural that I will be a bit biased towards him.
