Australia v India - Fourth Test: Day 1
Sehwag captained India in only four Tests

Virender Sehwag, who is considered as one of the most dashing openers in modern-day cricket, captained India in just four Tests in a career that spanned 104 Tests. Sehwag probably did not get a chance to lead the Indian team on a regular basis as he played under legends like Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble and MS Dhoni and could only lead the team in the absence of the regular skipper.

Sehwag's aggressive approach would have made him a successful skipper.
