South Africa were all out with a solid 540 on the board with Amla starring with a 159. Then came India out to bat. It was Wasim Jaffer who was opening with Virendra Sehwag.Sehwag smacked his first boundary with a Backfoot drive on the off side when INDIA were 4 for none. The very next ball went for another boundary which was an upper cut.In fact, this went for six! He got to his fifty with a three runs, after playing a back footer.Sehwag continued to hammer the ball here and there.He hit boundaries even when he was on his 80' and nineties.He whacked a four when he was on 95. He whacked Ntini with a huge blow on the leg side. 100, for Virnder Sehwg. And the very next bal flew out of the park and went all the way for six on the off side, the Sehwag way of getting a 100. His next four came when he was on 117 as he punched the ball with his right leg in the front for spinner Harris. Soon Jaffer had to go after edging one to slip but nothing stopped sehwag from smashing the ball here and there. Next morning he came in and continued his style of playing.He got 150 with a four, the Viru way!! When he was on 193, he whacked one for six even though he hadn't timed it well. Got to his 200, with a couple of runs after he played a back foot stroke to Ntini. He hit sweeps, reverse sweeps, drives to get to his 250. 250 from just 225 from the zen master! Nothing stopped Sehwag, he kept hitting sixes and fours. He whacked a six when he was in his 270's to spinner Harris. He whacked a four even when he was in his 290's . This shows his fearless instinct. When he was on 299, he smashed a glance to square leg to get to his 2nd 300. Applause from everywhere. #respect#. Three hundred, Virender Sehwag shouted Laxman Sivaramakrishnan. Cheers from everywhere nd this was how Viru, the most fearless cricketer marked the feat!
