Exactly as the title states Sehwag was the man to go for when India was in trouble. The man from a small town of Najafgarh made his debut in ODIs in the year 1999 against the arcrivals Pakistan. He made his test debut in the year 2001 against South Africa. Everybody criticized him for the technique with which he used to bat. One would say a good batting technique resembles a great batsman but not in the case of Sehwag .It was unconventional but very effective. It would have been very difficult for him to make a stand for himself in the team with Sachin, Dravid, Laxman, Ganguly around him. But he soon emerged as one of the greatest opening batsman for India over time. One of his greatest achievement was the triple ton he made at Multan in a test against Pakistan. He still hold the record for the highest individual score in test matches for India of 319. Veeru's known for the blistering starts he used to give India which every one is going to miss now. With Sehwag announcing his retirement from international cricket would obviously would have surprised everyone. Sehwag deserves a farewell like Sachin. The more aggressive he is on the field the very opposite he used to be off the field. A shy guy with always a smile on his face. A player who developed a new style of batting. Everybody is going to miss the entertainment he used to provide us with his batting. The only people who will be happy because of his retirement will be the bowlers from the opposition teams. They would have taken a sigh of relief as they will not be facing Sehwag anymore. As the commentators used to say when Sehwag used to bat "flashing blade of Sehwag" , " that cut away by Sehwag", and finally "cometh the hour cometh the champion". All this words of the commentators will no longer be heard about Sehwag. Sehwag you are , will and remain the greatest opening batsman for India for ever. Thanks for everything you have served India with. Hats off to such a great player.
