literally he was replica of sachin on most of this playing shots

 

 

2001: With Tendulkar out of action from the Sri Lanka tour, the Indian team management pushes Sehwag up the order to open with Ganguly. After a string of failures, Sehwag comes off. Looking like a Tendulkar clone, he blitzes New Zealand for a 69-ball hundred in a must-win game of the Coca Cola Cup.

2001: Scores an emphatic hundred on Test debut in Centurion, South Africa, revealing himself to be a Tendulkar clone capable of powerful punches on the rise, firm straight drives and sleek cuts.

2002: Nobody had chased 270 and won at the Premadasa Stadium. But that was till this England-India game in the Champions Trophy. Sehwag’s 77-ball hundred and his relentless attack on England’s seam attack would make a mockery of the target England had set: India chased down 270 in the 40th over.

2003: Boxing Day. MCG. Day 1. Australia have many way too many oppositions into submission on this day. Btu Sehwag wasn’t in a mood to go quietly—not after getting pinged on the helmet by Brett Lee. He goes on to provide the most ridiculously good entertainment not seen on Boxing Day ever since.

2004: It’s India’s first game on the tour of Pakistan. India are touring the country after seven years. Are the players nervous? Can’t say so looking at Sehwag. He completely, thoroughly terrorises an off-colour Mohammad Sami, blasting India past fifty in the sixth over. He then turns to Abdul Razzaq and Naved-ul-Hasan, whose figures read 2.1-0-38-0 before he finally gets Sehwag with a slower ball—but not before India had raced to a dizzying score of 142 in the 15th over.

2004: Here’s the innings that cemented Sehwag’s place among batting gods. He raced to a double hundred off 221 balls on the opening day of the Multan Test. Not finished, he proceeded to register India’s first triple-hundred, a booming six off Saqlain Mushtaq heralding the landmark. India go on to win their first Test in Pakistan.

2004: Tendulkar had to contend with Warne when he created his Chennai masterpiece in 1998. Sehwag also face McGrath, Gillespie and Kasprowicz. In this battle of attrition on a slow, turning wicket, Sehwag batted at a pace completely his own. When he got out on 155, India had reached only 233.

2005: Sehwag came to Kochi having taken 173, 81, 201 and 108 off Pakistan in the previous four innings. What followed was some more carnage.

2006: The weather was bleak. The pitch was flat. There was no chance of a result. But Sehwag made the game memorable, blasting 254 of the easiest runs he’ll ever score.

2006: It was a chat with psychologist Rudi Webster that wound up Sehwag into pounding a 78-ball hundred against the West Indies on the opening day of the St. Lucia Test. Sehwag nearly became the first Indian to score a hundred before lunch, going into the break on 99.

2008: The kind of innings you’d see only in a video game. In really humid conditions, Sehwag found the energy to launch the kind of attack never seen in Test cricket: 100 off 116, 200 off 78 more, and 300 off a further 84. His 319 remains India’s highest score in Tests.

2011: Umar Gul bowls what may be the worst opening over in a World Cup semifinal, and Sehwag gives India the start they needed, getting one step closer to winning the World Cup.
