Sehwag was a Cricketer of a different league. He was a Childs' dream personified; a man who can hit boundaries at will. A man who made lazy kids wake up at dawn just to chatch a glimpse of his batting prowess. A man who single handedly took the game away from the opposition. Those who did not watch Sehwag bat will fail to understand the impact of his batting and why Indian cricket fans truly worshipped him.

My friends are making fun of me that your father isn't scoring well,so I said him,beta,you just be calm and see me in next game" .....sir ,you are absolutely right,Sehwag is a man of his words !!!! 10 years passed and I remember this thing of his.❤

Sehwag was the best thing to have happened to Indian Cricket, across Formats. Man was ahead of the time by 25 years at least. I know Sunil Gavaskar Sir & Sachin Tendulkar are regarded as best Test batsmen for India, But In terms of impact, Sehwag has to be the best ever India had, SR of 82 and average close to 50 in 100+ Tests. Stuff of Legends.

215. I have to catch a train today evening and have lot of work to complete before that. Yet, it is strange that I picked this video that popped up on my YT home screen. I toyed with yes and no for more than 5 minutes and finally decided to watch. I am so happy I did. I watched live in the Queen's Park, Port of Spain stadium, in 2007, India's defeat to Bangladesh along with my 8 year old son when I was working there from 2005 to 2009. I was deeply hurt. I am sure every player would have been deeply hurt. Till today, I cannot digest that truth that I watched my first and last ODI match in a stadium live. And never after. But I respect the players despite their defeat since I believed they would learn their lessons and improve. This video showed sheer grit and determination of Sehwag and his devotion to redemption which he may call revenge. Courage and Confidence do not come easily. I love Sehwag for this reason. This video showed me a path for something I am working on but lacking both Courage and Confidence. It brought the clarity I needed. Commit and mean it. Thanks, Sehwag, for being who you are. Love you.

Many might think it's exaggerated but if Sachin was at least not your 2nd fav then why are you even watching cricket. Then they will start stating the innings in which Sachin played explosive😄I kinda stopped watching cricket after Sehwag completely retired as a player but I think probably now they might do it with Rohit and Virat although back then there was a difference that Sehwag fana liked Sachin too and vice versa.
