If there was one guy who could change a game quickly, it has to be Virender Sehwag. Its crazy how he could turn the game. Single handedly changed Indian test cricket the way he batted. And Lara is pure class. Loved his stance, the follow through and the flare.

Murali is such a humble and gracious man. What a legend!!

That's cos sehwag never took himself seriously and he took off spinners even less seriously

Sehwag in Galle 2008 was sensational. He reserved special treatment for Ajantha Mendis who had kinda embarrassed the Indian batting unit in the series and in the Asia Cup final a year earlier. The only other time I've seen a batter deflate Murali to that extent in Sri Lanka is Lara. Brian Lara in that series scored 688 runs. 688 in a series that West Indies lost 3-0. In a series where Vaas was lethal - between them they took 48 out of the possible 60 wickets available in that series. Just remembering what Lara did to Murali in that series still leaves me in awe.

Sir Sobers. What a perception to bat against a Slow Bowler irrespective of being able to read the bowlers hand.. Come to the pitch of the ball, hit him with the full face of the bat with full conviction, either timing it for a shot along the ground or over the top, placement should be in mind too.

Remember the game Sehwag scored 201* in a score of 329 vs against SL attack of Mendis, Muttiah, Kulasekkara and Vaas in 2008

Lara got hold of Murali the most! 🔥🏏 Murali looks healthy and well. Good for him 💪🏾❤ Vaas was a good bowler; amazing stamina in tough conditions.

Shewag is a special rare player. No Indian batsman ever can replace him. I still remember I didn't like viru to be out even though I'm a Sri Lankan. Because after he got out, the game becomes definitely boring to watch.

Murali was correct sachin didn't like off spinners but didn't got out many times. He even smashed saqlain at his best. Lara didn't have great record against kumble also never troubled Warne. I think it's easy to hit when ball turning away from you as you can free your arms but when it comes in its not easy to hit as if you miss you lose the stumps.

True only after sehwag joined Indian team, India could think of winning test team

Off spin is easy to bowl but it is very dificult to play because most of the off spin balls will turn quite but it more depend on surface if surface is odd batsman trouble to judge the line, any great batsman can got out

Virender Sehwag just the name is enough for opposition

I think Murali has forgotten the treatment from 1996 world cup.

No it was just that India were blessed to have GOATs like Sehwag Dravid Tendulkar Laxman who were amongst the best players of spin ever . Even Warne said in 2019 , that his record was not as good against India , due to these players and he would destroy the current (2019 Indian batting line up ) who are struggling against even part time spinners

spot on, sachin actually had some minor troubles with off spinners especially with some extra bounce, but still the most complete bastman

I belive indian cricket team changed with the intro of sehwag . He set the rhythm for indian team to win test and odis. He counter attacked and set the bowling line to backfoot which inturn gave the order behind him time and confidence.

The Great Brian Lara crickets greatest batsman.
