India's 2003 World Cup Squad: Where Are They Now?

#2 Virender Sehwag

Virender Sehwag was far from his ferocious best in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa. Prior to the tournament, he was tried out at different batting positions and he finally cemented his position as an opener in 2002. His performances were below par in the World Cup as he ended up with only 299 runs in 11 matches at an average of 27.18

It was only after the 2003 World Cup where we got a glimpse of the real Sehwag. He became an integral part of the Indian squad right until the 2011 World Cup and formed the best ever partnership with Sachin Tendulkar at the top of the order. To date, he is the only Indian to have scored two triple centuries in Tests. He is currently extremely active on Twitter and was appointed as the head of cricket operations and strategy for the Kings XI Punjab side in the IPL.
