Virender Sehwag known for his aggressiveness has the ability to destroy any kind of bowling attack in the world. Sehwag has a terrific resemblance with his idol Sachin Tendulkar. Sehwag, like Tendulkar, is short and square with curly hair, plays the straight drive and the backfoot punch, in the same manner as Tendulkar does. Such striking similarities, that when both play together, it is sometimes difficult to judge who's on the strike. The power and the class of Tendulkar can be seen when this man bats, and the two when together can create a lot of trouble for the opposition.

Sehwag is an extremely strong player off his pads and in the covers, and he is unstoppable when in full form. His strike rate in the first 15 overs is amazing and he can easily take the match away from the opponents when he stays there for the first 15 overs. A century on debut against South Africa on South African soil and the recent triple century had ensured that he is not only a classy ODI player, but also an invaluable member of India's test team.

A potential future captain of India, Sehwag also is a handy off spin bowler, and has the ability to break partnerships. With an average of 54.19 in Tests with six hundreds and an average of 34.37 in the ODIs with six hundreds, Sehwag is one of the most exciting batsmen to watch in contemporary cricket.
