As Virender Sehwag announced his retirement, there is no doubt that his stupendous performance will be forever be remembered in the history of cricket. With two triple centuries in Test cricket and a double century in ODI, Sehwag excelled in all formats in his explosive style. Perhaps the biggest tribute came from the Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who compared him to the legendary Vivian Richards when he tweeted “Didn’t see Viv Richards bat in person but I can proudly say I have witnessed Virender Sehwag tearing apart the best bowling attacks”.
