Indian Players who topped the batting charts in Tests

#2 Virender Sehwag

Virender Sehwag of India

Virender Sehwag was one of those few batsmen who had the ability to instil fear even in the best of the bowlers of the world. HIs aggressive and fearless style of play was a highlight of his career. On his day, he could take any of the bowlers of the world to cleaners. He could single-handedly tear apart the bowling of the opposition with his aggressive batting. He had a strike rate of over 80 even in Tests where other batsmen struggled to manage a strike rate of even 60.

Hitting a six to get to a triple hundred clearly describes the state of mind of this batsman. With an unparalleled match-winning ability, the former Indian batsman also holds the record of being the only Indian batsman to score two triple hundreds in Test cricket.

Sehwag, with a career-best rating of 866 points, attained the merit of the world's best Test batsman in 2010 after his two successive centuries against Sri Lanka.
