We are still in the picture: Dravid

Editor's note: Here are the reactions from Indian skipper Rahul Dravid and man-of-the match Virender Sehwag after India outplayed Bermuda by 257 runs. India must win its next match against 1996 champion Sri Lanka on Friday to get back into the contest for two Super 8s berths from Group B.

"We are still in the picture, but stiffer challenge lies ahead. The real challenge is ahead of us, the guys know what they've got to do now,'' said Rahul Dravid.
"We had two must-win matches, and have just won one.''
"We're pleased with what we've achieved.
"We have some things within our control, like the net run-rate that we can improve.
I'm happy that Sehwag's part of my team, he's back into form just when we need him before a a critical game.
To be honest, we expect a lot from him. He's been picked to score more than one hundred for us.''
Sehwag said a big innings from him was overdue -- having made just one 50 in 14 previous one-dayers.
"It was a matter of one innings that was due for a long time. Thank God, it has come at the right time.''
