A Pakistani Said Virender Sehwag Is Average And Shouldn’t Be Included In ICC Hall Of Fame

In cricket, few names resonate with the sheer force and dynamism of Virender Sehwag. This Indian cricketer is celebrated as one of the most explosive and destructive openers in the history of the sport. With a Test average of 49.34 after playing 104 Tests and a remarkable strike rate of 82.23, Sehwag left an indelible mark on the game. Not to mention, his illustrious career also encompassed 251 ODIs, where he amassed 8273 runs at an average of 35.05 and played an instrumental role in India’s World Cup victory in 2011.

In recognition of his incredible contributions to cricket, Virender Sehwag was rightfully inducted into the prestigious ICC Hall of Fame. However, not everyone has applauded this well-deserved honor. A Pakistani journalist, known for his contentious tweets, sought to undermine Sehwag’s achievements, igniting a social media debate. Despite Sehwag’s often humorous and savage Twitter replies, he has not always found favor among the cricket fans in Pakistan.

The journalist, in his tweet, remarked that Virender Sehwag’s ODI average was 35, Test average stood at 49.34 after 104 Tests, and his T20 average was 21.88. He questioned the ICC’s decision to include Sehwag in the Hall of Fame, dubbing him as an ‘average’ player. This tweet, although provocative, requires closer examination to truly appreciate Sehwag’s remarkable contributions to the sport.

Sehwag’s test average of 49.34 is legendary after playing 100 tests and that too as an opener. One must not forget the consistency and impact he brought to the format. In 104 Tests, he accumulated 8586 runs, which is a testament to his ability to adapt to the longest format of the game. His astonishing strike rate of 82.23, especially as an opener, is unparalleled. In fact, it’s this ability to dominate and demoralise bowlers right from the start in test matches that sets him apart from the crowd. This is enough to include him in the Hall Of Fame.

The ICC Hall of Fame is reserved for cricketers who have made significant contributions to the sport, and Virender Sehwag undoubtedly fits the bill. His inclusion in this elite group is not merely based on numbers but also on the aura and impact he brought to the game. Sehwag’s audacious and fearless approach made him a crowd favorite, and his performances inspired a generation of cricketers.

It’s important to note that the Pakistani journalist’s tweet overlooked some of Sehwag’s most iconic moments on the cricket field. One such moment was Sehwag’s historic triple century against Pakistan in Pakistan, a feat that very few cricketers have achieved in the history of the game. This inning showcased his mastery and flair, solidifying his legendary status.

Virender Sehwag’s career was defined not just by numbers but by the exhilaration and excitement he brought to the game. His audacious batting style, fearless approach, and unmatched ability to dominate bowlers made him a cricketing icon. His induction into the ICC Hall of Fame is a fitting tribute to a career that will forever be etched in the cricketing history.
