The 2008 battering in Chennai still fresh in mind, South African pace spearhead Dale Steyn today said he and his his bowling colleagues have arrived here with plans to tame Virender Sehwag in the forthcoming Test series against India.
Sehwag had blasted a 304-ball 319 in that drawn Test with the help of 42 fours and five sixes but Steyn said the Proteas have already sorted out the Delhi dasher.
"It is a challenge. He showed us in Chennai that on flat wickets, he could score runs. But once we exploited what his biggest weaknesses were, he wasn't able to get away again after that," Steyn said at an interactive media meet ahead of the Test series opening here on Sunday.
"We definitely have our game plans against somebody like him. What's happened in the past has happened in the past," Steyn.

Putting behind the two-year-old plastering, Steyn said, "It was definitely not the pitches, it was the mind-frame that we definitely got into. I am not giving everything away here, we still have got to play two Test matches against him.
"But whenever we go out to bowl in the Test match, you will obviously see what's going to be coming his way." In fact, the 26-year-old right-arm pacer said, the South Africans have separate plans to silence all the Indian top guns.
