Virender Sehwag

Virender Sehwag is one of the most dreaded opener on the cricket field. The former India opener, has been the lawnmower on the field whenever he opened the innings for the Indian team. He batted with the same intent and agile across formats which made him one of the few in his era who batted at a strike rate of above 100 in all phases of the game.

The veteran has now picked players for the particular shots. For the cover drive, he chose the legendary batter, Virat Kohli who made this as his trademark shot. Helicopter shot was invented by legendary captain, MS Dhoni and Sehwag gave away its rights to Dhoni. Straight drive was not played better than anyone else than Sachin Tendulkar. Sehwag chose Tendulkar for this shot.
