Against arch-rivals Pakistan, in their own den, Sehwag scored a scorching triple ton, his first. The Multan match is infamous for Dravid’s declaration when Sachin was on 194*. Sehwag’s 309 came at a strike-rate of 82.40 and included 39 fours and 6 sixes. The other highlight of the innings was Sehwag’s partnership with Sachin of 336 runs against a bowling attack that included Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Sami and Saqlain Mushtaq.

The triple ton was also special for the nonchalance with which Sehwag smacked Saqlain for a six when on 295*, despite there being multiple fielders on the boundary line. India eventually won the match by an innings and 52 runs after posting 675 in just 161.5 overs.
