SK Flashback: Virender Sehwag becomes first Indian to score a triple century

Impact of the innings

Sehwag’s triple century at Multan is considered one of the best innings in modern day cricket

Sehwag’s innings broke Laxman’s record of 281 – the highest individual score by an Indian in Tests until then. Years later, Sehwag narrowly missed out on a third triple, getting out for 294 against Sri Lanka.

No man has ever scored three triples. That Sehwag’s first triple-century came away from home against arch-rivals was the icing on the cake!
