		Sehwag came to the limelight in his fourth ODI match in March 2001 when he scored a quick-fire 58 off 54 balls, against Australia in Bangalore.
		Sehwag's scoring rate is extremely quick, at 96.76 runs per 100 balls (it is exceeded only by six current players, only one of whom has played 100 matches), but his average is a fairly ordinary 31.50.

		Sehwag developed his ‘power shots’ by constantly practising with a heavy bat, by tying the bat cover filled with mud to the back of the bat.

	What is wrong with Virender Sehwag : Cricket News : IndiaExpress.Com
		Sehwag simply took the bull by its horns and tamed the Pakistan pace attack with the ferocity of a lion pouncing on a bison on a wicket tailor-made for his style of explosive strokeplay.
		Sehwag’s last one-day century came against Pakistan on April 2 last year and since then he has played 34 innings without a three-figure score to his name which means that Sehwag hasn’t scored a hundred in one day cricket ever since Greg Chappell took over as coach of the Indian team.
		Sehwag’s ways are simple and the reasons for his phenomenal success despite what pundits reckon is his major drawback-lack of feet movement-are his tremendous hand-eye coordination and his early reading of the length of the ball that ensures he’s seldom caught off balance except when he is caught unawares against the bouncer.

		Sehwag, as a batsman sure of himself, has a knack of picking up a challenge and accomplishing the mission at an enviable success rate that sets him apart from the rest.
		Sehwag is a man of few words when it comes to interaction with the media, but he chose the occasion during the Asia Cup camp at Bangalore to stand up for his mate, Chopra, when he aired his views on who was best suited to be his opening partner.

	Sehwag still swinging to his own tune - www.smh.com.au
		Sehwag grew up in an industrial region just beyond Delhi's boundaries, and is from a middle-class family in Najafgarh, where his father, Krishna Sehwag, was the proprietor of a seed and wheat business.
		Sehwag originally came into India's one-day team to replace an absent Tendulkar at the top of the order and, admonished for tossing away his wicket, was told in no uncertain terms not to fool around with the spot occupied by a man who scored centuries for his country with such regularity.
		Upon reaching 100 in Melbourne Sehwag closed his eyes and tilted his head towards the heavens, and is sometimes seen wandering around with his head in the clouds humming Hindi music to himself.
