Virender Sehwag is one of the most celebrated cricketers in the Indian history. Often compared to Sachin Tendulkar, Virender holds the record for the fastest triple hundred by balls in Test cricket. Sehwag is also the only Indian player to hit two triple-hundreds in Test cricket. Not just this, Virender has the record of scoring the most runs in ODI innings as a captain, when he hit 219 runs against West Indies.
Born into a Jat family, who hailed from Haryana, Virender and his family later moved to Delhi. It was in 1997-98 when Sehwag made his debut for the Delhi cricket team. Sehwag represented India from 1999 to 2013 and was regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of his era and the most destructive openers. In 2015, Sehwag retired from all forms of International cricket and is currently serving as a member of the Anti-Doping Appeal Panel of the National Anti-Doping Agency.
