Profile

A swashbuckling batsman from Delhi, Virender Sehwag holds the rare feat of scoring a Test ton in his debut match. The Indian opener dominated the Test and ODI arena with his power-house batting between 2001 and 2004. Sehwag also holds the honour of leading his country in Test and ODI cricket. The Delhi born cricketer has modelled his playing style on his idol Sachin Tendulkar. In 2004, he became the first Indian batsman to score a triple ton in an innings of a Test match.
