#3 Virender Sehwag

New Zealand v India - 4th ODI
Virender Sehwag

The former Indian great played 47 innings in 38 games across formats against New Zealand over the course of around 11 years and his numbers during that period reflect total domination of a bowling attack. The New Zealand teams which were on the receiving end of his famous onslaughts must have been sick of the sight of him, considering the fact that he averaged 47.33 against them and scored at a strike rate of 96.38 across all formats of the game.

In total he scored 8 centuries against them, 6 of them being in one-day internationals and helped himself to 6 half-centuries as well. One of his most memorable innings was perhaps the 69 ball 100 he scored against them in Colombo, back in 2001 to drag India to the final of the tri-nation series.
