Dhaka: Having registered a victory in his first match as captain, Virender Sehwag on Wednesday said that he would love to lead the side in the future if he was given the opportunity.

"It's a great honour to lead the country. I am happy that I could win the first match. I will be happy to lead the team if I get the opportunity in the future," Sehwag said.

India defeated Bangladesh by four wickets to storm into the final of the TVS Cup triangular series. "I am glad that I succeeded in whatever responsibility was given to me for this match. I really enjoyed captaining the team," he said.

The dashing opener said captaincy did not put any additional pressure on him and he felt quite relaxed right through the match. "I did not feel any pressure of being the captain. I just played my natural game," Sehwag said.

The stand-in captain was full of praise for youngsters like Gautam Gambhir, Avishkar Salvi, Amit Mishra and Sarandeep Singh and felt they had the potential to succeed at the highest level. "I think it's good to give the youngsters a chance in such matches. They will learn by playing. I must say they all played very well."

Sehwag, who got out for 43, dismissed suggestions that he was not concentrating hard enough to convert the starts into big scores. "I play my natural game and always try to get the big scores. It is not that I lose my concentration and get out after getting the starts."

Sehwag was disappointed with the fact that his side lost too many wickets towards the end after cruising along comfortably at one stage. "That should not have happened. I think we were a bit casual and lost wickets in trying to get the runs quickly.
