#1 Virender Sehwag (India) - Tests

Sehwag's batting was a sight to behold

This list is incomplete without that man from Delhi who transformed the role of an opening batsman in Test cricket. His attacking batsmanship had opposing captains searching for answers very early in a Test innings. 'Viru' as he is fondly called, enjoyed feasting on anything short and wide which he got in plenty from seamers who searched for swing early on.

He had an illustrious Test career spanning over a decade during which he made 8586 runs in 104 Tests at an average of 49.34. The opener hit two triple hundreds with his uncomplicated style of batting and had a career strike rate of 82.2 which is higher than most players’ ODI strike rates at the time.
