Sehwag has been the Twitter King who has made people burst with laughter on many occasions with his hilarious tweets. He has also commented on many social and public issues and has received accolades and criticism at the same time. Even after retiring from international cricket, Sehwag has been entertaining his fans with his performances on the field.
Sehwag was arguably the most destructive batsman during his time and had the ability to dismantle any top bowling attacks of the world. Despite not having a sound technique Sehwag went on to score 8586 runs in Test cricket at an impressive average of 49. He was India’s first batsman to score a triple century and then smashed another one during the course of his career.
He was a terror to any bowling attacks all over the globe who had the ability to change the complexion of a match within a blink of an eye. Sehwag never cared about the opposition or the situation the team was in. All he knew was to see the ball and smash it if it is delivered in his arc. Sehwag was part of the All Star Series featuring many former greats of the game. He opened the batting with Sachin Tendulkar and took us down the memory lane and smashed some really big sixes.
