PICS : Viru speaks frankly

The first half of the IPL will be played in the UAE and Sehwag believes heat will be a major concern. "The first half of the tournament will be in UAE and it'll be very hot. The temperature rises to close to 47 degrees in April, which will be hard to deal with. However, the good thing is that most of the tournament is staying in the subcontinent and we won't have to adjust our tactics a lot," Sehwag, who will also be expected to fulfill the role of a mentor in the Kings XI side, said.
