#4 Virender Sehwag

India’s swashbuckling opener was at his destructive best at the World Cups, scoring runs at a breath-taking pace. In 2011, Sehwag thrived on the batting-friendly subcontinent conditions and racked up 380 runs in India’s World Cup winning campaign. The highlight of his run-scoring exploits was a monumental 175-run knock against Bangladesh.
‘Viru’ was instrumental in getting India off to explosive starts in both the 2003 and 2011 World Cup campaigns courtesy his power-packed stroke play in the power plays. Sehwag showed a glimpse of his clinical ball striking by scoring a scintillating ton against Bermuda in the 2007 ICC World Cup.
