Border Gavaskar Trophy: When Virender Sehwag set the Melbourne Cricket Ground alight with a swashbuckling knock

Virender Sehwag’s innings on December 26, 2003, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was marked by his aggressive play. Scoring 195 runs off 233 balls, he aimed for a double century with a six but was caught out. The innings included five sixes and twenty-five fours, showcasing his fearless approach despite India’s three-wicket loss. In trademark style, Sehwag later said that he would play the same shot again irrespective of the score he might be on.
