The best spell of Sehwag's career came against Bangladesh

When India faced Bangladesh in the 2nd match of the Asia Cup back in 2010, India were the clear favourites to win and that's how India played- a confident approach resulting in a dominating win.

Batting first, Bangladesh were struggling at 155/5 and the talented Mushfiqur Rahim was holding the fort for his team. When Sehwag was called by the skipper Dhoni to bowl, Sehwag scalped Rahim who was batting patiently at 30. Soon enough, Sehwag cleared the tailenders by bowling beautifully with a precise wicket-to-wicket approach.

Sehwag's bowling figures were 2.5-0-6-4, his career best. Owing to his spell, India restricted Bangladesh to 167 in 34.5 overs and comfortably won the match by 6 wickets.
