Virender Sehwag
Sehwag has charmed the internet with his wit and humour

Viru was a perfect entertainer with the bat and now even after his retirement he is no different. With his hilarious tweets and comments, Sehwag never fails to capture the fans' hearts. He is the only Indian cricketer to score two triple centuries in tests- 309 against Pakistan and 319 against South Africa.

In addition, he scored a double century in the ODIs against the West Indies in 2011. During his heyday, Viru was an unstoppable force in the top-order who hit the opposition bowlers all over the park.

On many occasions he started off matches for India with a bang, a perfect example being India's opening match during their World Cup winning campaign in 2011 against Bangladesh. India will never witness a dazzling opener like Sehwag in the future.
