#4.Virender Sehwag-195 Vs Australia (Melbourne 2003)
Virender Sehwag is a combination of two opposite virtues. At his sublime best, Sehwag can be brutally devastating, and at the same time, be delightfully pristine.
And, in front of a packed house at the MCG, Sehwag blasted his way to a stunning 195, an assault that left the Australians in a daze. At the start of his innings, Sehwag was hit on the helmet twice by a vicious Brett Lee, but that did not stop him from just brutalising the Australian attack.
Sehwag just pulverised the opposition- Brett Lee was cut ferociously past point, Brad Williams was driven gloriously past cover, Stuart MacGill was whipped past mid-wicket, and driven down the ground. The Australians even made Steve Waugh roll his arm over but to no avail. Sehwag was just unstoppable.
He scored 195 out of a team total of 366, but it was not enough as Australia won the match by 9 wickets. Nevertheless, the audacious stroke play of Sehwag and the way he ripped apart the best bowling attack in the world will be etched in the minds of cricket lovers forever.
