He is one of the new faces in the world cricketing scene but already he has started to show that he has the talent to dominate the tough world of International Cricket. His batting style has an air of Sachin Tendulkar. But he is more hard hitting.
He made his debut in ODI in an Indo-Pak match in the 1998-99 season. Sehwag made his test debut only recently in a match against South Africa in 2001-02. He made a century in that match.
He has before long captured the hearts of not only Indians but cricket fans the world over.
He has also recently joined the English county arena by signing for the Leicestershire team.
He is also a handy off-spin bowler apart from being a marvellous right hand opening batsman.
