The former right-handed batsman Virender Sehwag was famous for his aggressive batting, and we are not stunned to see him on this list. It was the match against Kenya at Paarl in the Standard Bank Triangular Tournament on 24th October 2001.

After the Indian captain, Sourav Ganguly decided to bat first, the skipper and Sachin Tendulkar built the massive opening partnership of 258 runs. Sehwag came to bat after the opening partnership was broken in the 42nd over, and the right-handed batsman successfully took up the next role. He scored a 22-ball fifty and remained not out on 55 runs off 23 balls with seven fours and three sixes.

India set the target of 352 runs (351/3 in 50 overs), and then, they restricted Kenya to 165/5 (50 overs) in the second innings.
