Sehwag, i am a big fan of him. Yes i agree with his blistering opening knocks India wins most of the matches.
He is the only batsman to hit a triple century for india, we are proud of him. I wish all the best for hitting a double century in one day cricket.
He is one of the fastest scorer the world cricket ever seen.
He plays square cut as good as anyone in the world of cricket.
He has a nick name of Nawab of Najafgar. It is often used by everyone.
Yes he is from Najafgar, that is why he is called like that.
Good article. Many days i wondered why he called Nawab of Najafgar, today i got it.
Yes i agress, with his blistering starts Indian cricket team has won many matches.
He should be the next captain of Indian Cricket team.
I don’t think so, as DHONI is doing good with his captaincy. Shewag has no chance.
I agree with Pinky, as sehwag 30 years old. He hardly has a chance to retain the captainship.
Why? When anil kumble got captainship when he was 36 yrs, why not sehwag. I think he still got many chance to retain the captainship after dhoni.
I think Indian cricket team is better under Dhoni with sehwag as vice captain.
Yes, sehwag enjoys vice captain and he wants to be part of the Team with any role assigned to him.
Sehwag is a fine batsmen.
