5 Golden innings from Indians you cannot forget

#4 When Nawab of Najafgharh became 'Multan Ka Sultan' :

This knock was special to every Indian because it was the first time an Indian had scored in excess of 300 in a test. In 2004, India went to Pakistan to play a 3 Test-series after a long gap.

After winning the toss and batting first, the Sehwag-Chopra duo added 160 runs for the first wicket. But they lost 2 wickets in quick succession with Sachin coming in. The Sehwag-Sachin duo had a mammoth 336 run partnership for the third wicket, but Viru stole the show with his aggressive batting.

The innings was a treat to watch. Viru smashd the bowlers all around the park. He was 228 not out at the end of day 1. He got to the 300 runs landmark with a six off Saqlain Mushtaq. Only Sehwag had the audacity to do such things.

The knock consisted of 39 fours and 6 maximums. He had scored 62 runs out of 309 against the Rawalpindi Express. India went on to score 675 runs and eventually went on to win the match by an innings and 52 runs and go up 1-0 in the series.
