Former Indian opener, Virender Sehwag represented India during a period when the ‘Men in Blue’ had developed a winning habit. Under the leadership of Sourav Ganguly, India began winning overseas Tests, be it Headingley, drawn series in Australia, or India’s maiden series win in Pakistan.
Sehwag was an important feature in that strong Indian batting line-up. He was recognized as the lynchpin of the Indian top-order as the first-choice opener in each format. During his heydays, Sehwag was a crucial part of the Indian fab-five including the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul, VVS Laxman, and Sourav Ganguly. Even years after retirement, the flamboyant Indian opener is credited for having changed the perception of how Indians perceived thereafter Test cricket.

It was quite evident that Sehwag felt nostalgic as he re-collected one of his fond memories from the past. He has had some great moments on the field with each one of his batting mates at the crease. However, this picture is a sneak peek to the behind the door activities that players resort to while enjoying their time off the field.
