Nawab of Multan demolished the proteas at chennai

TWO SCENES TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE AT THE NONSTRIKER END.BUT ONE PERSON DID THE SAME THING ON BOTH THE OCCASIONS.

On March 29,2004 if it was a six off saqlain Mushtaq over midwicket in Multan,then on march 28,2008 it was a single off Makhaya Ntini in chennai to complete his second triple century in Test cricket and 1oth consecutive century with a score above 150. Virender Sehwag just showed to the world what a batsman of his calibre can do to a very good bowling attack. As the SouthAfrican coach Mickey Arthur said "I must admit that the day belonged to Sehwag. It’s an unbelievable knock. I have never seen a Test innings like this. We tried to attack in every possible way — from around the wicket and over the wicket. But Sehwag was unstoppable"

Yes, he was really unstoppable. I got the opportunity to witness him in MA Chidambaram stadium in chennai.When he was in 299, the entire stadium stood up and applauded him even before the ball was bowled.He didn't waste 10 or 20 balls for his 300. No one other than sehwag can hit a six in the 90s,190s and 290s which makes him one of the best in this business.With his second triple ton, he joins the 3 men club consisting of players with 2 triple tons.Other two are Brian Lara and Sir Don Bradman.

SouthAfrican pace attack consisting of Dale Steyn,Ntini and Morne Morkel bowled well but to viru they weren't able do anything.This person can change the course of a match. Only few players has that ability to change the match in their favour.A player otherthan sehwag who has this ability is Adam Gilchrist who can turn the match in Australia's favour even when they are 100/5.

This 2nd triple ton is another step for Viru to become world's one of the best test batsman.Each and Every Indian is proud of you. Comeon viru just continue your great work to Indian Cricket.

Note:The first photo is Viru's first triple ton against pakistan at multan and with him is Sachin Tendulkar and the second is viru's second against SA at chennai and with him is Rahul Dravid.
