Sehwag with a single tweet on Friday summed the way he played his cricket all throughout his life.

Similarly in cricket, it is usually not a poor delivery that has an effect, it is usually how we smash them :) https://t.co/36iCwFHrp5

The Indian opener had given a lot of sleepless nights to a lot of bowlers all around the world and retired as one of the most successful openers to have ever played for India in Test matches. With 8586 runs in Test cricket, Sehwag was one of the most revered cricketers in his playing days, destroying attacks at will and has scored runs all around the globe for his country. The 38-year-old was part of the World Cup winning squad in 2011 and was an integral part of the Indian side that won the first edition of the T20 World Cup played in 2007.

After calling time on his career, Sehwag is now one of the most entertaining commentators and his insights of the game are more than intriguing that has still kept him in the limelight. Just a couple of months ago, he had applied for India's coaching job but lost out to Shastri, who was touted as the choice of skipper Virat Kohli -- an appointment that was not unanimous with former India captain Sourav Ganguly, a member of the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), strongly against the decision.
