10 great batsmen who bagged a pair in Tests

VIRENDER SEHWAG

Sehwag got out for a king-pair at Edgbaston in 2011

The books on Test match batting had to be re-created after the world witnessed a certain Virender Sehwag play. The way he bulldozed through bowling attacks in the longest format changed the role of the opener against the shining red cherry.

A “see-ball hit-ball” player by his own admission, Sehwag is the only Indian to score a triple century in Tests.

Not someone to care about the score, Sehwag, who was rushed to England post a shoulder-surgery, bagged a king-pair (first-ball ducks in both innings) during the Edgbaston Test during India’s tour to the England in 2011. He became the third Indian after BS Chandrasekhar and Ajit Agarkar to bag a king-pair in Tests.
