4,4,6,4,4,4 – Sri Lankan medium pacer Dilhara Lokuhettige was taken for 26 runs in the 6th over of the innings in the final of the 2005 Indian Oil Cup tournament at Colombo. That he conceded only 15 in the remaining 4 overs and no other Indian batsman scored at a strike rate of more than 90 in the match shows how silly Sehwag made the bowler look.
In pursuit of 281, the Delhi batsman got the team off to a flier scoring a 22-ball 48. Despite the impetus provided by Sehwag and the 84-run third wicket partnership between captain Rahul Dravid and Yuvraj Singh that took the team to 186/2 in 35 overs, a late collapse meant that the Indian team had to fall short by 18 runs.
