Virender Sehwag Biography
Virender Sehwag (born on 20 October 1978, in Delhi) also known as \"Viru\" is an Indian cricketer (batsman) and member of the Indian national cricket team since 1999 (one-dayers) and 2001 (Tests). He is an aggressive right-handed opening batsman and an occasional right-arm off-spin bowler. He is the record holder for the highest score made by an Indian in Test cricket in a single innings (319), the fastest triple century in Test cricket (reached 300 off only 278 balls) and is the only Indian to score a triple century in Test cricket. He is one of the only three players to have scored two triple hundreds in Tests, along with Don Bradman and Brian Lara. He is the only player to score two triple centuries and take a five wicket haul at Test level. Sehwag was appointed as vice-captain of the Indian team under Rahul Dravid in October 2005, until poor form saw him replaced by VVS Laxman in December 2006 as Test vice-captain and January 2007 saw him dropped from the ODI team and later from the Test team as well. During his term as Vice-captain, Sehwag skippered the team in place of injured Dravid in 2 ODIs and 1 Test. Following his return to form in 2008 and the retirement of Anil Kumble, Sehwag has been reappointed vice-captain for both Tests and ODIs.
