India expect Sehwag to be fit


India are hopeful that opening batsman Virender Sehwag will recover from a shoulder strain and play in the first Test against Sri Lanka starting on Friday.

"He has a slight strain in his left shoulder, we hope it is nothing serious," skipper Rahul Dravid told reporters on Thursday.

Sehwag has not batted in the nets the last two days.
