SK Flashback: Virender Sehwag becomes first Indian to score a triple century

Modified May 27, 2019 18:18 IST

Virender Sehwag — Sehwag eclipsed VVS Laxman’s score of 281, the highest by an Indian batsman in Test cricket

Impact of the innings

Sehwag’s triple century at Multan is considered one of the best innings in modern day cricket

Sehwag’s innings broke Laxman’s record of 281 – the highest individual score by an Indian in Tests until then. Years later, Sehwag narrowly missed out on a third triple, getting out for 294 against Sri Lanka.

No man has ever scored three triples. That Sehwag’s first triple-century came away from home against arch-rivals was the icing on the cake!
