"They can NEVER DEFEAT US" | When a Beaten, Broken Sehwag Roared back in Defiance | Cricket
Ойын-сауық
It was a scintillating thrilling revenge for Sehwag - the despair and humiliation of 2007 was to be paid back in full in the 2011 odi world cup.
In 2007, India suffered a shocking defeat to Bangladesh in the ODI Cricket World Cup, leading to harsh criticism and scrutiny of all Indian cricket players, but especially - Virender Sehwag. Sehwag's form had been in decline, since 2005 and had already been a contentious controversial pick in this highly sought after squad.
But after failing to perform under extreme pressure - the backlash he faced, the rebuke he received back home in India
Was so severe so harsh - that soon enough, he would be booted in all formats - in the Indian team. Tests, Odi and T20
However, a resurgence came when Anil Kumble, insisted on Sehwag's inclusion for a tour to Australia. A tour that would be later Known as the Monkey gate series after the famous Sydney test fiasco.
Sehwag would not only secure his place in the team
But go about constructing an epic rebirth of sorts. Going higher than he had ever been in his lauded career
A new Sehwag a bit more cautious a bit more conservative would set the cricketing world ablaze once more.
Getting himself the vice captaincy of the Indian team by 2011
And that would be start of a scandal of epic proportions as Sehwag - now elevated to the position of captain due to injuries to the captain
Would go to Bangladesh and say -
They are an ordinary side - they cant defeat us
In one interview - Converting a friendly tour into a battle for national pride.
the firestorm of media attacks and bad blood such that icc
decided to keep the opening match of the 2011 odi world cup between the two co hosts
setting it up as a rematch of the 2007 match, further intensifying the rivalry.
And even though india were the favorites to win this tournament
Injuries to key players like Sachin Tendulkar, Praveen Kumar, Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag himslefs meant that the match would be a closely fought affair
And given how far the bcci had went to rub off the memory of that last world cup
Even changing the format fo the world cup from a 4 groups affair
To a 2 groups round robin
None of that too out the brunt of that defeat
Nor decrease the importance of this match
Especially when Sehwag - the man declared as the brand ambassador of the 2011 odi world cup
Went ahead and called this match the moment of their revenge
With next days headlines reading
"Team India seek revenge for 2007 debacle",
"Tonight: vengeance", and "Time to put Caribbean nightmare behind".
So suffice to say
Bangladesh - that had gone on in an ndefeated run at home
Alonf with admirable performance in sher e bangla stadium
Enriched by experiences in IPL and other T20 leagues around the world
Were suitably enraged
Such was the animosity built by this point
That the opening match
To be played in bangladeshs sher e bangla stadium
Had the government declaring a bank holiday to prevent any undue disaster
And the Bangladeshi team wanting to use the pressure their home crowd would come to bear
Decided to zero in on sehwags statement of wanting to bat all 50 overs inspite of being injured
Counting on Sehwag playing defensively at the start
They decided to target him early
And take his wicket as soon as possible
And as Bangladesh set about there plan
On the very first ball of the match
This was a true insight into sehwag’s mind
His attitude and his beliefs
A person who spoke exactly what he felt
Wth no filters or apprehensions
Each and every word coming out of his mouth was his truth
This match
His years long desire
So on he went
Constructing his long south revenge
Using calculated aggression to being down bowlers after Bangladeshi bowler
Blowing away all previous debris
Banishing all past ghosts
Sehwag went on to set a masterclass of an inning
Not only scoring his won century within 30 overs
But limping by the end
Taking India to a massive 370/4
Along with Virat Kohli
And though Bangladesh would try desperately till the end
from Kayes to Tamim Iqbal and Shakib everybody trying their best
nobody would be able to match Sehwag’s fireworks
his performance setting the tone for India's successful World Cup campaign, showing that they were in form and ready to take on any challenge.
Sehwag's fearless approach and ability to perform under pressure not only redeemed him but also inspired the Indian team to perform at their best, setting the stage for a memorable World Cup victory.

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.

No tactics, no calculations but simply his guts, his flair and his maniac and especially refusing to respect the bowler Or the match situation or the personal achievement or records Or the ground or even his own captains direction is what made him such a treat to watch... Just ask Sachin and Ganguly...

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.

I remember the Match between CSK and KXIP in 2014 IPL...it was the qualifier 2, kkr was already in final...Sehwag scored a brilliant hundred in this game, and despite Raina's brisk 80 odd runs,CSK fell short and lost...so,during the mid match conference,Sehwag was questioned about his innings and he replied , " My son got bullied by friends and he said me that,papa ! 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.❤
I use to admire him alot when I was a kid. His calm composure and that laidback style, he use to smash bowlers for fun. Really miss this brand of cricket. Thanks cricket Raaz for bringing this story. It has increased my respect even more for Sehwag
5:18 wow brutal elegance ❤
My childhood hero and favorite sportsman. Still can remember the days when we woke 3 AM to watch his test innings
175 runs 380 odd runs where scored by India And India won by more then 100 runs And the words remain intact India still hasn't lost a test against Bangladesh

U know, Srilanka hasn't won single test against India in India. Even with players like Jayasuriya, AD Silva, Sanggakara at their prime, couldn't give them a single victory against India. No wonder Sehwag was very confident that Ban could never defeat India in test, when team like Lanka failed in India

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.

He is one of the reasons why India won that world cup. He would break the morale of the opposition within the first 5 overs and put India in the front foot. He and Gauti together ruled the top order while Yuvi mesmerized in the middle order

I still remember how sehwag presence at the crease used to nervous the big bowlers. THATS CALLED IMPACT.
One of the most honest cricketer who talked and played by heart. I always believe 90% cricket comes from inside. Rest 10% can be learnt.
This was the first ever cricket match I watched live on television.
Beautiful narration...gr8 Cricket Raaz English....there can be never a Sehwag again...his batting showed his demeanor...
This video is so so inspiring!!! Thank you for making it and the narrative that you created (stating facts as they are). Loved it!!
I thought that innings was a typical sehwag innings but i never known the amount of emotions invested in this match, very good story telling sir, thankyou
Thank you for bringing the memory back. I still remember those days and was watching every ball when Shewag was batting
"Virender Sehwag" a lion heart cricketer with nerves of steel. Very few could match his daredevil league. Take a bow braveheart 🙏🇮🇳🙏

Sehwag multiple times confirmed later that he told Bangladesh "Test" team ordinary, its not possible for them to surprise india in "Test", but media took it to another level.
I did watch test matches alone in neighbours home when sehwag batting while took fake leave from school days.That was the craze sehwag brought in cricket minds.Phenomenal unforgettable player!

Looks like im not the only one who woke up at 3 to watch him play. On his day he was a monster. My absolute fav batsmen of all time, the guy who scores Indias first 300 with a 6. Absolute legend.
Wat a video..well narrated..I can feel the match ❤
"When I said they were an ordinary team, I was not insulting them or belittlingly them, I was describing them." -Not Sehwag but pretty damn close

It was delight to watch Sehwag paly fearlessly
Some players are an emotion , sehwag was definitely one of them of our generation.
Everything aside, Gautam Gambhir looks good batting right handed 😂 7:35
There will never be another Sehwag. This generation has no idea how awesome the old times were. Watching Sehwag bat was an adrenaline rush in itself. You are expecting a boundary or a wicket in every ball. Such was his impact that people started watching test matches due to Sehwag.
By defeating India that day they proved they belong to the league but by thinking they can always have a chance against India in every game made sure they will remain at the bottom of the league for eternity.
The revenge feeling was intact among the general supporters of Indian Team. We all felt the need to prove bangladesh that 2007 was a fluke.
Legend..
when sachin was slowing down or unsure...it was sehwag who showed the way. took pressure of sachin and made him play free. one of a kind.
Sehwag to me is the best opener that came from India.
Hats off to him ...as a man of his words
