I am feeling fit, raring to return to the field: Sehwag

Sidelined from the Indian team for nearly four months due to an injury, flamboyant opener Virender Sehwag [ Images ] on Sunday said he is satisfied with the recovery of his shoulder problem and is now desperate to return to the ground.

"I am feeling fit now. I am raring to go at the bowlers. Whenever given an opportunity, I don't miss the chance of playing," he said in Chandigarh on the sidelines of the ongoing J P Atray Memorial cricket tournament.

Playing for Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance [ Get Quote ] 1 team, Sehwag made his comeback to the cricket field against BPCL [ Get Quote ], but failed to open his account, dismissed by Bhavin Thakur.

Sehwag also said that he will play for Reliance 1 team if it reaches the quarter-final stage of the tournament.

The right-hander has been out of action for almost four months after undergoing a shoulder operation following an injury he sustained during the second edition of the Indian Premier League [ Images ] (IPL) earlier this year.

The injury also saw Sehwag miss the Twenty20 [ Images ] World Cup in England [ Images ], the one-day series series in the West Indies [ Images ] and the recently-concluded the tri-series in Sri Lanka [ Images ].

He was also left out of India's squad for the ICC [ Images ] Champions Trophy [ Images ] in South Africa [ Images ], starting September 22.
