South Africa vs India 2018: 5 players with most runs in SA-IND Tests

#4 Virender Sehwag

Due to his aggressive style of play, Virender Sehwag was typecasted as a limited-overs specialist in the initial years of his career.

However, by the time Sehwag retired in 2015, his numbers in the longest version of the game were far more imposing as compared to the shorter formats.

The ICC Test player of the year 2010, played 15 five-day games against South Africa between 2001 and 201, scoring 1,306 runs at an average of 50.23.

He scored five tons and two fifties and hit a maximum number of 17 sixes against the Proteas in Test cricket.

Sehwag, the first Indian to hit a Test triple ton, brought up his highest tally of 319 in the longest format against South Africa in a 2008 five-day game at Chennai.

Sehwag's second triple ton was the fastest in the history of Test cricket as it came off just 278 balls.
