Harbhajan Singh terms Virender Sehwag as the most dangerous batsman in the world - Cricket News Update
The discarded Indian off-spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 Tendulkar’s record of being the highest run scorer in an ODI with a valiant 219-run knock against West Indies, at
Indore on December 8, 2011.
Harbhajan, who has not been picked in the national side since http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HA-Varaiya-c1520 was the most dangerous batsman in International cricket.
"By far, Viru is the most dangerous batsman in world cricket," said the turbanator while talking to the media reporters yesterday.
Sehwag, who has been appointed as the stand-in captain of India for the ongoing five match ODI series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, had been under a bit of pressure for failing to lead his side from the front in the first three one-dayers of the series.
However Harbhajan, who is presently nursing a shin bone injury, said that the ability of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Paul-Anthony-Hibbert-c81005 should never be judged on the basis of a string of poor scores adding it is impossible for the bowlers to put a halt to Sehwag’s blitz on his day.
"I have always said that on his day, no bowler can stop him," said Bhaji. "As his teammate, I really feel proud that a special player like him has achieved this feat. Not only us but each and every cricket fan in this country should feel proud about such
an achievement," he added further.
Sehwag became the second ever batsman to score a double ton in a One Day International match. Earlier it was only Master Blaster http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, who was enjoying the feat with a record of unbeaten 200, but Viru not only shattered Tendulkar’s record but
also set a new record which apparently seems to be unbreakable.
Sehwag himself was happy to break the record set by somebody of Sachin’s status.
“I am extremely happy to emulate Tendulkar and to have broken a record held by a great cricketer like him," said Sehwag.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Madhya-Pradesh-c809 Cricket Association handed Sehwag a cheque of Rs. 10 Lakh in recognition of his phenomenal performance.
"I won't mind coming back here again, score a double hundred and take another Rs 10 lakh," Sehwag quipped.
