Stunned by the sheer brutality of
Virender Sehwags ODI double
hundred, former Pakistani cricketers
have lauded the Indian openers
superb handeye coordination, with
excaptain Rameez Raja calling him
the King of entertainment.
Paying tribute to Sehwag for his record
breaking innings of 219 runs against
West Indies in the fourth onedayer
yesterday, former Pakistan captains
said the sheer weight of runs scored
by him in a 50over match was a big
feat by itself.
I have always enjoyed watching him
bat because of his positive approach to
the game. He might not always use
the most orthodox batting technique
or methods, but there is no doubt he
remains a very effective accumulator
of runs for India, said Zaheer Abbas.
Zaheer, himself known as the Asian
Bradman for his runscoring feats,
said Sehwag was a top class
entertainer and drew the crowds like a
magnet.
A double century in a oneday
international is a big feat, and I
congratulate him for his achievement,
Zaheer added.
Another former captain Rashid Latif
said Sehwags grand return to his best
was bad news for Australia, where
India would be heading later this
month for a Test series.
For the Australians, this is really bad
news because Sehwag has a terrific
record in Australia, and if he goes
Down Under with this momentum I
think the Australian bowlers are going
to be in for a tough time, Latif said.
The former wicketkeeperbatsman
said having watched Sehwag closely he
had no doubt that the Indian opener
was a law by himself.
