No Indian opener has been able to replicate the clean hitting prowess of the great Virender Sehwag. Not only has he got two triple-centuries, his daredevilry with the bat made him an entertaining watch too. He was also part of India's 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 World Cup-winning teams. He played 108 Tests (8586 runs), 251 ODIs (8273 runs) and 19 T20Is (394 runs). He played his last match for India in March, 2013 against Australia. Now, Sehwag has revealed that in the current generation no Indian batter plays like him.
