5 batsmen with the best away strike rates across all formats

3. Virender Sehwag - 93.36

Virender Sehwag is perhaps the most dashing opener in Test history

Former Indian great Virender Sehwag is considered to be among the best openers that the cricketing world has ever come across. More than anything else, it was Sehwag's ability to go after the bowling from the very first ball which made him stand out among the crowd. The best bit was that the dasher from Delhi could bat this way in all three formats.

During his career, Virender Sehwag spread fear among bowlers over the world by taking them to the cleaners in their own backyard. He already had a high strike rate of 92.55 overall in international matches and this inflated further to 93.36 when he played on foreign soil. In fact, the right-hander scored his first triple century outside India, too.
