Virender Sehwag - Profile, Biography & History

Full Name: Virender Sehwag
Born: October 20, 1978, Delhi
Current Age: 33 years 156 days
Major Teams: India, Asia XI, Delhi, Delhi Daredevils, ICC World XI, India Blue, Leicestershire, Rajasthan
Cricket Association: President's XI
Playing Role: Top-order batsman
Batting Style: Right-hand bat
Bowling Style: Right-arm offbreak

Virender Sehwag, nicknamed ‘Viru’, is an international cricketer, who is known for his aggressive right-hand batting style. One of the leading and fearsome batsmen of this generation, Virender Sehwag is known for his no-nonsense style of batting. His mantra is simple 'smacked the ball out of the park'. Regarded as one-day material due to his unorthodox batting technique.

As a starry-eyed youngster from Najafgarh, where his family ran a flour mill, Sehwag grew up, like many others from his generation, wanting to be Sachin Tendulkar. Indeed, when he scored his first one-day hundred, filling up for his injured idol against New Zealand in Sri Lanka, he could have been mistaken for him: there was the same back-foot punch on the off side, the minimalistic straight drive and the wristy whip to the leg. And on his Test debut, on a fiery pitch in Bloemfontein, he matched the master stroke for stroke as they both blazed away to hundreds. But soon he emerged his own man, and not long after Tendulkar was playing a supporting, and somewhat calming, hand as Sehwag romped away to a triple-hundred, the first by an Indian, in Multan, bringing it up with a six. Two Tests ago, he had been dismissed trying the same stroke five short of what would have been his first Test double-hundred.

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar Profile - History & Biography

Full Name: Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar
Born: April 24, 1973, Bombay (now Mumbai), Maharashtra

Height: 5 Foot 5" in
Education: Sharadashram Vidyamandir School

Sachin Tendulkar has been the most complete batsman of his time, the most prolific runmaker of all time, and arguably the biggest cricket icon the game has ever known. His batting is based on the purest principles: perfect balance, economy of movement, precision in stroke-making, and that intangible quality given only to geniuses: anticipation. If he doesn't have a signature stroke - the upright, back-foot punch comes close - it is because he is equally proficient at each of the full range of orthodox shots and can pull them out at will.

He can score all around the wicket, off both front foot and back, can tune his technique to suit every condition, temper his game to suit every situation, and has made runs in all parts of the world in all conditions.
