IPL career stats - Matches - 104, Runs - 2,728 , Strike Rate - 155.44

Virender Sehwag, just like Gautam Gambhir kicked off his IPL journey as a part of the Delhi franchise. He remained an integral part of Delhi for many years before he was released by them and Kings XI Punjab recruited him.

Though he never won the Indian Premier League, Sehwag always proved to be a match-winner for his side. His blitzkrieg in the powerplay overs provided his team a solid start at the top. He is one of the few Indian players to have played over 100 matches and still have a strike rate of 150+ in the IPL.

Sehwag had recorded 2 centuries and 16 half-centuries in his IPL career. The Sultan of Multan even struck 334 fours and 106 sixes. Just like Gambhir, he had a poor end to his IPL career as he was only able to score 99 runs in his final 8 matches.
