The Aussies were boxed out on the first day of the boxing day test at the MCG. The man behind this was none other than our dashing opener, Virender Sehwag.

Even though the pitch looked a little damp, Sehwag left no stone unturned by launching a surgical strike on the bowlers and the World Champion team were made to look like second division players.

He wasn’t going to back off even when the best bowling line-up fired at him. His 195 came in 233 balls with 25 fours and five sixes and the Kangaroos were owned that day. He reached his 50 and 100 with a boundary and his 150 came up with a six over long-off.

At 189, he hit Simon Katich’s full toss over the cow corner for a monstrous six. He tried that again, but to his fortune was caught in the deep at 195.

He missed a much deserved double century nevertheless this innings made it to the list of 15 best tons in Australia since 2000.
