Along with a few others, Virender Sehwag changed the way modern One Day cricket is played. He was one of the first real master blasters at the top of the order for India and composed a formidable record throughout his limited-overs career. Sehwag comes in 4th overall for all time highest strike rate in ODI Cricket. Throughout his 251-match career, Sehwag had a strike rate of 104.33 runs per hundred balls faced. His solid batting average of 35.05 runs per innings while facing the world’s best bowlers sums up how much class Sehwag had. What makes Sehwag so special was that he produced these numbers in an era where protecting your wicket, and building an innings were the main points preached for an ODI opening batsman. Despite often being ridiculed for getting out playing too aggressively, Sehwag stuck to his style of play. Because of this, he will go down as one of the greats in One Day International Cricket.
