Virender Sehwag

India's explosive batsman Virender Sehwag, who was one of the world's most dangerous batsmen, is fourth in the top five cricketers of the world in terms of total income. The first and only Indian batsman to score two triple centuries in the Test, Sehwag's international career has been fantastic.

Sehwag scored more than 17,000 runs in 104 Test matches, 251 ODIs and 19 T20 matches in his international career and sent the pavilion back to 136 batsmen, trapped in his off-spin.

Sehwag, who started his international cricket career against Pakistan in 1999, has always given a good start to his Indian team with Sachin Tendulkar and then Gautam Gambhir in his 16-year career. In the T-20 World Cup in 2007 and then in the 2011 World Cup, he played a very important role in making India a world champion. He is currently working with the Star Sports broadcast.
