#3 When Sehwag came up with a new method to counter reverse swing

Sehwag played the game with a smile

Much like his different batting technique, Sehwag had out-of-the-box solutions to common problems. Below is a tale of how he countered reverse swing in his own unique style.

Sehwag was batting for Leicestershire against Middlesex in English county cricket and Pakistani bowler Abdul Razzak had started to get the ball to reverse swing. Worried at this, Sehwag came up to his batting partner Jeremy Snape and said, “We must lose this ball. I have a plan.”

And in the very next over he smashed the ball out of the ground forcing the umpires to pick another ball which would not reverse swing immediately. Sehwag came to Snape and said, “We are all right for one hour.”
