Famously called the Nawab of Najafgarh in the world of cricket, Sehwag has always managed to impress everyone with his batting strokes. His mother Krishna Sehwag says, “ Viru played cricket even when he was in my womb”. And, no wonder, Sehwag’s eagerness for the game reached heights when one day he broke his tooth and his father put prohibition on his playing it. However, the batsman resumed his playing under his mother’s wishes. Ingraining Tendulkar’s spirit inside, Sehwag’s popularity knows no boundaries. Creating a mountain of runs through his bat in Test, One-day and T-20 cricket, Sehwag is the captain of Delhi Daredevils.

 

Quoting Sehwag: He admitted that his personality has also transformed. "Those days I was very reserved and spoke very less but now it is not like that. I have completely changed myself."
