PUNE: The former India opener Virender Sehwag on Wednesday described the current national cricket team as the strongest he had seen and predicted a 3-0 or 3-1 win in the upcoming Test series against Australia. "The balance that this team has, the quality of their fast bowlers and spinners accompanied by the batting firepower makes this the best Indian team. This team has the capability of winning a Test series abroad," Sehwag said at the 'SporTale', sports-themed literary festival.Sehwag, however, warned the Indian team against the law of averages catching up. "I am happy that he isn't captain because maybe now my team, Kings XI Punjab, can beat this Pune team. On a serious note, I believe that this is an internal decision of the franchise but he is one of the best ever captains India has ever had," he said.
