Missing history

History was not created today, it would be certaily made tomorrow. So the cricket fans need not be sad, Sehwag will certainly entertain spectators again with his yet another explosive innings.India’s star batsman, Nawab of Nazafgarh and Shehensah of cricket Virendra Sehwag missed to create history by missing unfortunately to make triple century when he was caught and bowled by the wizard of spin bowling Murlidharan of Sri Lanka on the morning of third day’s play in Braborne Stadium in Mumbai. Sehwag is a match winner, and it is recognised all over the world that on the day of his own no bowler can get him out. He made sparkling 293 and when the entire nation was in celebratory mood of his third century to surpass all time cricket great Sir Donald Bradman and Brian Lara, he was out on 293. Sehwag has his own style of batting and it does not for him which is bad ball to hit and which is good ball to leave. It is the quality of his batting that it depends on him to hit the ball for four or sixer. He is an entertainer in the game of cricket, partlicularly in the deparment of batting. He has scored 17 century and six of them are double centuries and two are triple centuries. It is also the singular characteristic that only Sehwag possesses that he never allows the bowler to dominate him. He always dominates the bowlers and always hits at will. It matters little whether he is to face fast or spin bowler, he mauls every one with equal brutality. India is on the brink of No. 1 in Test ranking in world cricket. If India beat Sri Lanka in the third test match of the three test match series in Mumbai, of which there is every possibility, today by establishing 2-0 series win over it, India will become the No.1 team in test ranking of the world cricket. The contribution of Sehwag in achieving this historic position is immense. Sehwag is undoubtedly the best opening batsman of not only India but of the world also. It is his quality that if he stays at the crease even for two to three hours, there is always a chance of India’s victory. It is because of the way he makes runs very fast by wielding his bat in complete control by hitting the ball in all corners of the field, he reigns supreme in the field. Sehwag has the guts and courage to maul any bowlers of the world. All bowlers in the world pay respect to Sehwag's batting. He always plays his natural cricket, no matter what condition is there in the field. He lifts the ball so cleanly that it falls across the boundary line and hits so timely that it appears that the ball has come out of his bat like cartride of the gun and cross the boundary line in the wink of eye . He still has much more cricket left with him. He is only 30 and he is going to play for India for a long time. He has to create many more records to bring many laurels for India.
