#2 Virender Sehwag
Sehwag has defied all the experts' opinion with his technique and approach towards Test batting. He had a nonchalant way of batting. His approach was - see the ball hit the ball. His batting was all about hand-eye coordination, but, boy what a destructive player he was. With two Test triple hundreds to his name, he could make best of the bowlers run for cover on his day. He scored 10 of his 23 centuries outside India.
He had a strike rate of 82 in tests, which tells you how dominant he was as an opener. He scored 464 runs in 4 tests during the 2003-04 tour of Australia, which was instrumental in India drawing the series 1-1.
