Self belief and honesty were two of Sehwag’s best assets. Privileged to have had the best seat in the house to appreciate his genius.

My favourite innings in Test cricket is probably the 293 @virendersehwag smashed against @OfficialSLC at Brabourne. Carnage! #ThankYouViru — Shiamak Unwalla (@ShiamakUnwalla) October 19, 2015
