Top 5 game-changing knocks by Sehwag

#1 83 vs England (2008)

One of the most defining knocks of his career

Probably the best knock in Sehwag's career, although not a big century. India was set a daunting target of 387 in just over 90 overs on a worn-out fifth-day pitch. Out came this man to score 83 runs off 68 balls, and set up the platform for the Master Blaster to pull off an unexpected victory.

Tendulkar later dedicated the win to all the brave souls who lost their lives in the Mumbai terror attack. Those 83 runs had more context than many other hundreds, and it instilled the belief and confidence that any target could be achieved with this man at the crease.
