Virender Sehwag hails from Najafgarh, a small town on the outskirts of New Delhi, India. Ever since he was a child, Viru -- as Sehwag is lovingly known as – always dreamt of playing cricket for India. His biggest idol was the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. Thus, when Virender Sehwag got a chance to represent the Indian national cricket team, and open the innings along side his idol Tendulkar, it was more than a dream come true.
Virender Sehwag has often been compared to the inimitable Tendulkar. However, he has failed to live up to promises by gifting away his wicket on innumerable occasions. When on song, Viru can be a devastating batsman with a wide assortment of swashbuckling strokes.
The biggest weakness in Virender Sehwag’s batting is the lack of technique, because of which he fails to compile a long innings. His loopy off spinners have bailed India out of trouble in a lot of matches. He comes in from nowhere, takes that all-important wicket, and helps the team save a game. But, these blink-and-miss appearances as a batsman have often landed him in trouble with selectors, especially for inclusion in One-dayers. Viru is also a sound fielder and safe catcher in the slips.

Rahul Dravid - Rahul Dravid is probably one of the last classical Test match batsmen. His progress into the national side may have been steady and methodical rather than meteoric, but once there, Dravid established himself at the vanguard of a new, defiant generation that were no longer easybeats away from home. Armed with an orthodox technique drilled into him by Keki Tarapore, he became the cement that held the foundations firm while the flair players expressed themselves. Yet, for a man quickly stereotyped as one-paced and one-dimensional, he too could stroke the ball around when the mood struck him.
