Virender Sehwag

Both Virender Sehwag and Ashish Nehra started their career almost at the same time, played together in age-group cricket, played together in the Indian domestic circuit and then, in the Indian team. In a recent interview, Nehra even revealed that both him and Sehwag used to travel together to train during their childhood days.
Sehwag made his debut for India in an ODI against Pakistan, a couple of months after Nehra's international debut and played his cricket along with the left-armer. Sehwag is one of the most destructive batsmen to have played the game as he has scored 8586 Test runs in 104 matches at an average of almost 50 and a strike-rate of 83.
In ODIs, he scored his 8273 runs at an average of 35 and a strike-rate of 105. Sehwag was a part of three World Cup campaigns, winning one and also won the 2007 World T20. He is one of the few players who were a part of both the World Cup-winning squads.
Sehwag announced his international retirement in 2015.
