Full Name : Virender Sehwag
Date of Birth : October 20, 1978
Place of Birth : Delhi, India
Star Sign : Libra
Hailing from the Najafgarh area on the outskirts of Delhi, Sehwag's success in international cricket is what fairytales are made of. This born cricketer, as experts call him, had a passion for cricket right from his childhood. He would point at it with his little finger, wanting to possess it. He was barely six or seven months old then, says his mother Krishna. But his father Krishan, however, did not appreciate Sehwag's interest in cricket. He wanted his son to study and take over the family business of wheat trading.
Sehwag is the third of the four children of Krishan and Krishna. Sehwag's two elder sisters Manju and Anju live not too far from Najafgarh. Sehwag also has a younger brother Vinod Sehwag, younger to Virender by one and a half years. Sehwag is engaged to Aarti Ahlawat, daughter of a Delhi lawyer and their marriage is fixed a few days after his return from the Pakistan tour.
Personally Sehwag is a simple, shy young man who likes spending a lot time with his family. He also has a liking for old Hindi songs. Crazy about goggles and watches, Sehwag also enjoys spending time in the swimming pool.
