The Tendulkar clone has, no doubt, graduated to Bradmansque comparisons. But Virender Sehwag isn8217;t getting carried away by any of them. Reacting to Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer8217;s comparison of him to the greatest batsman in the world, Sehwag said, 8216;8216;such compliments don8217;t go to my head.8217;8217;

Talking to The Indian Express Sehwag said, 8216;8216;Such comments make me more responsible. In fact, I am still the same Virender who set out more than a decade ago to play entertaining cricket. I have not changed a bit. I only believe in hard work and entertaining the people in my own humble way.8217;8217; On his earlier comparison with Tendulkar, Sehwag said, 8216;8216;I never modelled myself on any cricketer. Since Sachin was my childhood idol, there could have been some similarities in some of the strokes I play.8217;8217;
