Sehwag the saviour as India stare down defeat | From the Vault

With wickets tumbling around him, Virender Sehwag digs in for a gutsy 151 on the final day of the 2007/08 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. But will it be enough to drag India out from the jaws of defeat?

Sehwag from 2008 to 2010 : 61 Inns, 3515 runs, SR 91.34, Avg, 60.6, 100's -10, 50's -15. Main reason for India being No.1 in tests

The innings that revived Sehwag's test career. He wasn't in the playing xi for the first two tests. And then he scored a hundred in the tour game after the second test - the infamous one at Sydney. Then he was picked for the 3rd test at Perth. He scored a 40 odd in the second innings. But it was this game, where he genuinely came back. Very unsehwag like. Took 200+ balls for his 150. But made sure India wouldn't lose. If not for his innings, India could have lost the match despite scoring 500+ in the first innings. In the immediate next test that India played after this one, he scored his career best of 319 at a 100+ SR against SA. And after that there was no question about his place in side for next 3-4 years. A true entertainer!

I rate Viru very highly because of his thought process!!Was very clear with his decision making and was brave!!

Sehwag was a dashing batsman. But he mellowed down to make sure his country avoids defeat. Salute!

VS Sehwag
He always gave India a chance to WIN, no matter what situation / pitch was. One of the greats of Indian Cricket.

[RamKumar-ekdy]

He played exceptional cricket against Pakistani bowlers in that particular era especially against Shoaib Akhtar's bowling who always bothered Saurav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar. Thanks CA for appreciating Virendra Sehwag

[subhadeepdas]

Sehwag once told Ashwin, "I don't think off-spinners are bowlers". 😂😂

I clearly remembered this series . This was one of the most media hyped series . Every day in the newspaper this series covered in the front page . India were favorites to win the series, as last time when india travelled australia way back in 2003-4 India drew the test series . And one more reason was that india had started winning tests in overseas. They have defeated pakistan in Pakistan in 2004, West indies in 2006, Won their first ever test match in Sa in 2006. And they have deafeated England in England in 2007 and also defeated pakistan at home series u. 2007. Also won the t20 world cup in the same year.
India was in red hot form . Even prince if kolkata had came in form. But their main test was to win in australia. Australia won 16 consecutive test at that time . India lost the Mcg test badly. But in Sydney test india lost match because of the worst umpairing of the history. But in the third test india defeated australia in Perth . And broke the jinx of Australia of winning 16 consecutive test. And the last match was played in Adeilade which ends with drawn . india lost one of the most competitive series by 2-1 . Fun fact at that time I was in 3rd grade 😂😂. Good old days 🥲.

Pre Sehwag India scores an average of 220-250 per day. During Sehwag era, India started to score 300+ more often than usual and able to declare 3rd session of second day in most of the tests.

The Talent of India 🇮🇳❤️💪.
Well Played Birendra Shewag 🏏♥️♥️🔥🔥

Sehwag got into Tendulkar's boot after his 2004 knock of 309. He scored 1000+ runs in every calender year. Irfan's succes in Top3 & Sehwag's bad form led him to out of selector's radar forever until his 151

[SmokingOz-ndew]

One of the funniest mfers to ever play cricket. I don't fully understand Hindi because I speak Sinhalese but every time I hear Sehwag talk I lol at how little he cares about what anyone thinks. One of the most genuine cricketing characters of all time.

[surajitbarua]

Sehwag was the both pinch hitter and classic batsman.
