Virender Sehwag is an Indian cricketer. He has scored centuries (100 or more runs) on 15 occasions in Test cricket and in 11 One Day International (ODI) matches. [1] He is yet to score a century in a Twenty20 international. [2]
In Tests, Sehwag has scored centuries against all the Test-cricket playing nations except the Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. He is seventh on the list of leading Test century makers for India. [3] He made a century on Test debut, scoring 105 against South Africa in 2001, the eleventh Indian player to score a century on Test debut. [4] His centuries have been scored in thirteen cricket grounds, of which eight were outside India. He has ended up in the nineties on three occasions. [5]He has scored five scores of 200 or more, of which a record three of these have come against Pakistan [6] [7] [8]. He is the only Indian to have scored a triple century (300 or more runs), and has done so twice. His 319 against South Africa in Chennai in 2008 is thus the highest score by an Indian in test cricket, and his 309 against Pakistan in Multan in 2003 the second highest. [9] His 319 was also the fastest triple century in test cricket, the 300 coming up off just 278 balls. He is the third batsman score to have scored two triple centuries, alongside Sir Donald Bradman and Brian Lara. [2] His last 11 hundreds have been scores of 150 of greater, a record. [10] [11]
In ODIs, Ganguly scored centuries against six opponents. His first ODI century was against New Zeland at the Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo in 2001. His highest score of 130 was also scored against them at the Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium in Hyderabad in 2003. He has scored five centuries against them, a record in matches between them and India. [12]His century against them in Hamilton[ disambiguation needed] in 2009 was the fastest by an Indian, coming up off 60 balls. [13] He is fifth in the list of leading century makers in ODIs for India. [14]Out of these centuries, three were scored at home grounds and eight were at away (opposition's home) or neutral venues. He was dismissed four times between 90 and 100. [15]
