History awaits Sehwag!!!!

Yesterday at the Chidambaram stadium in Chennai, all the spectators have witnessed an innings of a lifetime. It was Virender Sehwag. The Delhi player who just took the game to India’s favors almost one handedly. There were useful contributions from Jaffer and it’s good to see that Dravid has regained his touch very slowly indeed. Otherwise the rate at which this man scored his runs is awesome. I never felt that India is playing Test Cricket when viru was playing. There was a four almost every over which is something marvelous. The Proteas were sent to every corner of the ground. I am very sorry for the proteas as their bowlers had nothing to do with the pitch. The pitch was favoring 100% to the batsman. But playing a innings like this for the whole day needs to be applauded. His innings was almost near flawless innings. This man has a hard character and also everlasting stamina. Only a person of his caliber can achieve this kind of feat of 2 triple centuries. A 300 is not an easy joke to crack out that too against a pacy bowling attack of proteas. This needs skill and determination. He joined the rare elite group of only 2 batting greats Sir Don Bradman and Brian Lara. It makes us proud that an Indian has joined the elite group. Even though there are so many legends in Indian Cricket and all over the world only this man has able to crack the 300 puzzle twice and this time he cracked the fastest 300. There were 41 boundaries and 6 sixes in his sublime knock. He his having a dream run at the chepauk. Today if he bats carefully until lunch he can break the record of highest individual score in test cricket which is at present owned by Lara 400. If sehwag cracks the 400 puzzle today his record will remain for years to come as it is very tuff to beat. As a Indian I pray to the almighty to shower his blessings upon this determined young lad so he gains a record for himself after doing so much for his team. This must be a reward for his hard work and he deserves it. CHAK DE SEHWAG!!!!!!!!
