Virender Sehwag Complete Bio & Career

Virender Sehwag did his study from Arora Vidyalaya of New Delhi. Later, he completed his graduation from Jamia Millia Islamia. After that, cricket became the first love of his life. He and his family moved from Delhi to Najafgarh live in the locality. From Sehwag, the whole world's bowlers were horrified. Their way of playing was aggressive. Sehwag was the master in breaking the waist of the ball by bowling the same ball from the first ball to the last ball in the same manner. Everyone and the viewer were eager to watch Sehwag's batting. As long as Sehwag was on the crease, opponents had concerns about the forehead. Sehwag played his first ODI match against Pakistan in 1999. This tour has been very difficult for Sehwag. He scored 1 in the first match and 35 runs in 3 overs in bowling.
 
 After this Sehwag was not included in the team for a long time. In the domestic series against Zimbabwe in December 2000, Sehwag was included in the team again. In the tri-series against Sri Lanka and New Zealand in August 2001, Sehwag started his career in the first half of the career, starting the innings. In this series, by scoring a century on 69 balls against New Zealand, Sehwag presented his talent.
 
Sehwag, the record holder of India's triple century in Test cricket, has so far scored 7380 runs in 228 one-day internationals with 13 centuries and 36 half-centuries. His ODI batting averages 34.65. His highest score in ODIs is 219 runs. Interestingly, Sehwag's offensive game style is one-day cricket favourable, but he has been more successful in Test matches, in which he has scored 6248 runs in 72 Test matches at an average of 52.50, including 17 centuries and 19 half centuries.
 
Sehwag regards Sachin Tendulkar as the guide to the cricketing world. Sehwag is likened to Sachin Tendulkar for his batting style. In terms of making big scores, he is the equivalent of Sir Donald Bradman of Australia and Brian Lara of the West Indies. 
Sehwag has made his name in world cricket, including the highest run (319) record by any Indian cricketer, as well as the fastest triple century in international cricket history (300 runs only 278 balls) and also the record of the fastest 250 runs is his name (207 balls against Sri Lanka in the 3 rd of December 2009 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai Were made). His second innings includes 309 and 293, which is the second and third highest score by an Indian batsman. Post retirement, he has become a cricket commentator.
