Sehwag officially retires

Each time I watched Viru pa bat, I forgot all that was wrong in my world. There was innocence in his aggression, simplicity in his genius.

When Tendulkar used to be close to century, he suffered nervous 90. When Sehwag used to be close to century, bowlers suffered nervous 90.

Virender Sehwag was undoubtedly the most talented batsman of his time. If he had the technical brilliance of Sachin, he'd have been Bradman

The art of making improbable look easy is the hallmark of a genius. Sehwag was a cricketing genius. #ThankYouSehwag for the memories. 🙏

Sehwag holds the record of scoring the fastest Test triple century. Before him, openers like Aakash Chopra used to score 30 in 278 balls.
