In a way, the advent and the ascent of Virendra Sehwag was quite similar in Indian cricket. Initially, he looked like another slam-bang One Day International specialist, with not so "traditionally" good footwork. He started off in a not so spectacular manner. However, his innings against New Zealand in a One Day tournament where he scored a swift century in 69 balls, and paved the way for an Indian win, proved that he would not be a pushover. Then, he was pushed to open the Innings in England in 2002 in test matches, where he proved that this move won't backfire. He scored a century at Trent Bridge in his second Test match. There was no looking back from there on for Virendra Sehwag who established himself as one of the all time great Indian openers and a great player, paving the way for many Indian Test and ODI victories.................
For the records, Sehwag made 8586 runs from 104 Test matches, and is fifth in India's all-time list. In ODIs, he scored 8273 runs, with 15 centuries including the second-highest individual score of 219.
