5 reasons why we miss Virender Sehwag

#4 Only Sehwag could keep the opponent team on tenterhooks

Sehwag knew how to make the bowling look toothless

One of the most entertaining aspects of Sehwag’s batting was his sheer unpredictability. Unless you know a player’s game, it is difficult to set the field. And almost no field setting could ever stop those boundaries.

Most batsmen would nudge the ball around for singles after getting a few boundaries in the over. But Sehwag would still go after the ball and smash it out of the park. Sometimes, he lost his wicket in the process but that was the kind of thrill he got into the game.

And when the situation demanded a boundary, he would sometimes settle for singles. He played cricket with the mind, and knew how to make the bowling look toothless.
