Sehwag's Boxing Day onslaught | From the Vault
Спорт
The all-conquering Aussies were left dumbfounded by an epic Boxing Day onslaught from Virender Sehwag at the MCG in 2003. The Indian opener crashed 195 on day one to launch India into a commanding position at stumps.

Having the top score doesn't necessarily make it the best performance in the match. Yes, Ricky Ponting scored a double century in their first innings, but it took him almost 450 balls. Therefore, some performances are deemed better despite not having the highest scores.

@@Detective313"Undoubtedly, Man of the Match was Ricky Ponting , who amassed 706 runs in the series, emerging as the highest run-scorer. Rahul Dravid, with 619 runs, held the distinction for India. Interestingly, though Ponting outshone with the most runs, it was Rahul who was adjudged the Man of the Series. If the same criterion applied as in the Boxing Day Test for selecting the best player, Ponting, being the top run-scorer, should have been the recipient. The rationale behind Rahul receiving the honor remains a curious aspect."

Only Sehwag could hit a four at 99 and try to hit six at 195. There won’t be another attacking opener like him. 🏏
Probably the greatest ever counter-attack innings ever by any visiting player on Aussie soil.

Since Sehwag's departure, the quest for an opening batsman of his caliber remains unfulfilled. Numerous contenders have emerged, yet none have managed to replicate his exceptional talent and charisma. Regrettably, India's opening batsmen have struggled to deliver their finest performances on foreign soil.

Would have been Rohit Sharma if he would have backed like Sehwag who despite having a string of poor performances was continuously backed by Ganguly , Rohit Sharma is unlucky to play in the captaincy of Dhoni and Kohli , he would have been a different player if he would have got someone like Ganguly

Fearless player. Test average strike rate 83 and average 50 run per innings. Incredible combination class and destruction .
Nostalgic innings never comes back in history of test cricket ❤
Well virendra sehwag frankly speaking in his days, he was one of a kind.
What an innings - outstanding batting from Veeru
I watched it all through live. I thought after the match was over, Indian team owed Sehwag an apology for losing the match (and letting go of the chance to win the series) after the start he provided. I still think the same after 20 years. Ian Chappel regards it as one of the best innings played in Australian soil. And he is right.

Thankfully, there were no Indian commentators in it. They would have surely made a mess of it. Loved the commentary as Sehwag played one of his greatest knocks.
If he did not hit that six on 195,we would have won that series,after veeru got out that was a stunning batting collaps from india.
195 puches to aussies on the boxing day match 2004
I started to watch test cricket to see his batting...if any player of his era who change the match scenario in one session, its sehwag...the best opener in test cricket i have ever seen...his strike rate of 84 and average of nearly 50 is highest for any opener in test cricket
Super cameo 36 or whatever he got, before being stumped. Went up a gear after being stumped. I guess if someone gives you a chance - even if it's the 3rd umpire - you've got to take advantage!
I was just 16 years when I was watching this test match
What a days, brilliant knok by sawag
what a player....just watch this innings when we indians feel low!....he took out the aussies in their backyard!...
